So, I'm looking to replace this half broken socket 775 system with a cheap Ryzen build. Current parts list:

Now, we're pretty well set on the 2400g and using 8GB RAM. I'm not sure how I feel about the motherboard, though. As a a320 board, it lacks some of the benefits of the 400 series... which are... I don't know? I'm not concerned with overclocking at all here, but I remember reading something somewhere about the 400 series having better boosting capabilities. Will the 2400g still boost to 3.9GHz as advertised (assuming cooling conditions and whatnot are met, of course).
Moving on, the memory. I'm well aware that Ryzen has some pretty nasty memory compatibility issues when it was first released, but the Zen+ series (2xxx, as is this chip, the 2400g). I know I really should be checking the QVL, but the problem with that is I have, and all the QVL memory seems pretty expensive. What are my chances using this memory with this board?
Cheap is the word of the day here, which is why I'm looking at this cheap board and memory.
