The Ryzen 5 2600 can handle dual channel configuration, allowing four memory sticks to function as two separate channels. It will work fine. Think about skipping the 32GB option if budget matters, unless you require high performance for demanding tasks like video editing or 3D modeling.
Everyone finds it a bit tricky to understand. The processor features two memory channels, each capable of holding up to two memory sticks. On the motherboard, if there are only two slots, the manufacturer sets one slot per channel, allowing dual channel mode with one stick per channel. If there are four slots, you can place the two sticks in the correct positions for dual channel—such as first and third or second and fourth—and each channel will have two sticks.
