Awesome! Ok, when you've built the computer, and installed Windows and made sure everything works, then you can change the multiplier.
I'm using my MSI BIOS as a guide, but yours should] be relatively similar.
All you need to do is start your computer up, tap 'Delete' or whatever key AsRock uses to enter the BIOS as it starts up, and it'll take you into the BIOS.
When you're in, look around in the different menus for something to do with overclocking. It might be 'Cell Menu,' 'OC Tweaker' or something to that extent.
In the menu, you'll likely find something like 'CPU Ratio' or 'CPU Multiplier.' There will be a number next to it that says x16, or it might say 'Auto.' What you do is highlight it, tap Enter, and go down the numbers until you come across x17.
Press Enter, and it should show your CPU frequency as 3400, or 3.4GHz.
Next, find an option that is called 'AMD Cool & Quiet' and disable it.
Save your BIOS settings as a profile if possible, and then save the settings, and exit. Your PC will reboot.
When you're back in Windows, you can use a program like CPU-Z to verify your CPU speed, which should be 3.4GHz. 
*Make sure you don't play around too much in the BIOS at first, or you could cause your new PC a lot of problems*
