Ryzen performs better with faster ram, 2666mhz will work, but 3200mhz would be minimum I would go for that.

if this is for gaming only, you are fine with a 3600, no need for 3800x. if you do more multithreaded work, the 3700x is usually cheaper and has roughly the same performance as the 3800x. only get the 3800x if within £20 of the 3700x.

and yes, get faster ram, 3200 minimum, 3600 ideal.

this is what i'd get:
