Yes those RAM sticks will go into that motherboard. What type of CPU do you have? If it is a K version, you may want to know about cooler clearance.

I am trying to build it myself, and also keep it cheap but upgradable.
My idea is to buy a Core i5-6400, and later (when is cheaper) an i7 most likely the k version.
As you can notice I am planing on having this PC a long time.

I was worried about the RAM because this motherboard is not listened as supported here:

It would be very nice to know about the cooler clearance.

The stock cooler will work just fine. And trust that DDR4 RAM will be able to fit with no problem.

The 3200MHZ, modules if used with the 6400 even on a Z board, MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO RUN AT TOP SPEC , but would be able to with an unlocked CPU.

which one would you choose between the G.skill and this corsair

But would be able to with an unlocked CPU \ 6600K or 6700k with a Z board.

Both sets are great , I prefer Gskill.

No problem, I also prefer G Skill (which is what I have). As SR-71 Blackbird mentioned, you probably want to choose a 2133mhz or 2400mhz combo set. Once it may not allow it to be overclocked due to that locked CPU, two it's cheaper. Three, as a non-enthusiast, you probably will not notice the difference.

I am choosing this one because with prime it's cheaper. If you think it's a bad idea please let me know.

It's not bad. Just will run at default speed until you get that unlocked CPU (if you do). If it is cheaper, then go for it.
