i suppose you reffer to the Zen 2 lineup, you would probably look at either the 3600 or the 3700x

The Phantom Gaming X is a pretty high end board. If you were buying a processor with it, it'd recommend anywhere from 3700X to 3950X. That being said, you were given it for free. Go with whatever Ryzen 3xxx series your budget allows and 2 * 8GB sticks of at least 3000Mhz. You can always upgrade later on.
