First computer build need help

So I ordered this build, now i'm trying to figure out how to go about putting it together before it gets here on my old DDR2 computers I usually just slap the ram in wherever and haven't had issues but the mobo I ordered (b450) has instructions for installing the RAM in certain slots based on the CPU you bought (pinnacle ridge) however it does not say anything about 3200 MHz ram which is what I was suggested to buy and honestly it doesn't make sense to me at all how to tell which stick goes in which slot. Same thing with the GPU.
 
For memory refer to your motherboard manual. You won't break anything by putting RAM in the "wrong" slot. GPU goes in the PCIe slot closest to the CPU socket.
 
There is a "Faint lines" on the diagram at the memory slots that show how to pair the pairs.
