Im going to build a pc but i'm wondering is the ram compatible with the motherboard. The motherboard i would be using is the "asus tuf gaming b650-plus" and i would want to use the kingston fury beast ddr5 rgb (KF560C36BBEAK2-32) but its not listed on the asus compatibility list. But the non rgb version of that ram (KF560C36BBEK2-32) is listed. Can i use it without problems or should i use other sticks of ram?

I use the non RGB version of the RAM on my TUF B650 PLUS WIFI without issues and have used it on 10 other builds with the same motherboard.
The RGB RAM should be identical just with RGB, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
They can't test everything so even if its not listed on the compatability page it should work.
The KF560C36BBEAK2-32 is EXPO rated as well so made for AM5.

I'd pay more attention to the timings than QVL. If this Newegg listing is the same kit, its probably fine.

 

Kingston FURY Beast 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model KF560C36BBEAK2-32 - Newegg.com

 

36-38-38-74 isn't the tightest, but it shouldn't be a problem with Ryzen 7000 series CPUs in my opinion.

Great, what's your thoughts on the motherboard?

I like it.  It looks great, VRM cooling is excellent and its been very reliable in use so far! WIFI / Bluetooth has been extremely stable.  Not a single issue in the 20+ AM5 builds I have built with this exact board ( I wrote 10 above cause I used other RAM in the other 10+ builds ) All WIFI / Chipset drivers install without problems.
Other brands like Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte will do pretty much exactly the same with their B650 boards in this price range though.
I went ASUS again because I know their BIOS layout, I had previous ASUS boards I enjoyed and it was 30% off when I built my first machine with this board 😄 But yeah, absolutely no complains or issues.
The reviews from both Guru3D and PcGamer also helped me with picking this board, it did everything I needed very well.

No Problem!  It sure is a great motherboard and the extra Cha_Fan header at the back of the board for the rear fan is a nice touch.
Hope you are able to buy the parts soon! 
What specs are you going for?

I have a partpicker list here. I could have done a few changes such as a non-x ryzen 7600 but it comes with the motherboard in a bundle so its slightly cheaper. There might be some flaws or parts i should change so let me know if there is 👍.
