Does this MB work with this RAM?

Im building a PC workstation for CAD work and gaming.

 

CPU is a Ryzen 3700X

GPU is a 2070 Super

 

Now what im not entirely sure about is the RAM and MB. The budget for both is about 300€ (German prices) and i need 32GB preferably 2x16 so i could upgrade to 64GB should the need arise.

 

The MBs i found for now are a MSI x470 Pro Gaming but it is only specified for 3466Mhz RAM

and a

The RAM i plan on getting is a 2x16GB kit of G.skill Ripjaws V CL19 but if it works i might tighten the timings a little

Would it work with either of the MBs and which of those would you suggest to get? Are there any good alternatives for the RAM?

honestly... I'd get a tomahawk over both

 

pro carbon would work as well if you can find it cheaper

 

and both should work with that ram kit

The MSI boards are all rated for 3466 MHz RAM though, are you sure i can get the RAM to 3600?

You may want to buy slower ram or change the BIOS settings

Any reasonable slower RAM costs the same and since ryzen 3rd gen works best with 3600 RAM i want that.

 

Though what i did find is the MSI Tomahawk Max which is rated for up to 4133 MHz RAM so i guess that will work for me.
