Regarding RAM, I'm thinking about the situation. Your Ryzen 3000 series model really does care about its memory speed. If you're interested, Linus made a video on the topic. A 3200 MHz is definitely better, but it depends on your budget and the system you're using.
The higher frequency is better, of course, but that depends on the chipset and the processor supporting that frequency. Some Intel chipsets restrict your RAM to 2666 Mhz or the maximum officially supported by the processor, which for some Intel processors is 2933 Mhz. There's a small note here : the best performance is a combination of high frequency AND low timings. Timings are how long it takes for the memory sticks to respond to commands or prepare the data and start transmitting data. Higher frequency means data is transmitted from the ram or into the ram at a faster speed, but there's still some amount of time needed for ram to get ready or to find the data in the ram chips and start transmitting it - that's what the timings mean. In applications that work mostly with big chunks of data (most of the games too), timings are less important but in applications that work with lots of small chunks of data (think for example database servers that have to go to random rows of data or text in memory there timings are more important and frequency less.
