I have a new build that Micro center helped me pick out, it is an AMD Ryzen 2600x with DDR4 16 GB 2400 MHZ of ram do you think I can use 3200 DDR4 ram with that CPU. The motherboard I am using is an ASUS TUF B450M-PLUS Gaming....Thanks

Yes, you can use any DDR4, faster is better.

You can also overclock your existing memory instead of buying new.

3200 is a very reasonable speed for a 2600

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I have never overclock memory before. So can i just go into the Bios and just change the Frequency or is there more to it.

Depending on what memory you have, you might not be able to reach higher speeds. However, it doesn't hurt to try.

In general yes, you set a higher speed and provide more voltage to your RAM. Default DDR4 voltage is 1.2V, you can probably safely bump it up to 1.4V

I'd recommend watching some YouTube tutorials about this.
