Need help selecting new CPU based on existing RAM

I am looking for a cpu and mobo upgrade, I'm not sure about the compatibility of the new cpu, mobo with my existing ram.

 

My current build-

i5 8400, msi b360 pro vdh, crucial 8gb 2400mhz (x2), gigabyte rtx 2060 super

 

Only cpu and mobo upgrade to-

Ryzen 5 3600, msi b450 tomahawk,

these parts remain same - crucial 8gb 2400mhz (x2), gigabyte rtx 2060 super

 

As I don't want to change the existing ram, will this ram cause and incompatibility with the new cpu ?

 

Ryzen 5 3600 specifications as mentioned in https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-3600

says System Memory Specification=3200MHz

If you find the model number on the RAM you can search for it in the motherboards QVL and see if you can find it there, but I think you will have no problem running that RAM on that board.

I am not worried about the mobo and ram compatibility.

I need to know if the ryzen 5 3600 is compatible with two crucial 2400mhz ram sticks

Can't see why it would not be.
