Can i run ryzen 3rd gen straight out of the box?

It depends. If the board has the updated BIOS, the box will have a small orange label on the front (at the bottom, near the left side), which says, "AMD Ryzen™ 3000 Desktop Ready." If it has that logo, it'll run with Ryzen 3rd generation out of the box. If not, you'll need a 2nd gen Ryzen for updating the BIOS first. Mine had the logo, and all I had to do was pop the processor in and bolt down the heat sink/fan.

Will it run fortnite with onboard graphics card

There is no "Onboard Graphics Card." The Ryzen 2200G and 2400G CPU's (also known as APU's) have graphics cores that will run modern games at medium settings, or older games at high settings.

How many fan headers does this motherboard have?

There are actually 6 fan headers. 2 to the left of the cpu, 2 above the cpu, and 2 at the bottom right side of the motherboard where the power switches and stuff are.

what kind of ram is compatible to this board

I originally purchased Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 CL16 (16-18-18-36) RAM (Which is on the QVL), but I like to live dangerously, so I ordered G.Skill DDR4 3600 CL16 (16-19-19-39) to give it a shot. Worked flawlessly despite not being on the QVL.
