Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): These are the specs max ram speed is rated at 2666

It is, but check if the 1600AF is Avalible. Basically a Ryzen 5 2600 but 200mhz slower.
