Hello, I am building a new Gaming PC and I have selected the Ryzen 5 3600 non-x variant and the msi ventus RTX 2060. I would like 16Gb of RAM and i am stuck between a 3000mhz with a 15 CAS latency, or a 3200mhz kit with a 16 CAS latency; what is better? Or am i asking the wrong question?

There's only going to be a slight difference. I'd probably pick whichever is cheaper.

I also feel that 3200 MHz CL 16 is more common so maybe better compatibility, but either one will probably work fine.

Ryzen prefers frequency over latency too.
