Hi, I wanna buy a new Asus GTX950 2GB STRIX OC with a Kingston ValueRAM 8GB DDR4 2133Mhz CL15. Will that work with my Gigabyte H77-DS3H?

Intel i5-3470

Thanks

Sorry your board supports DDR3.

4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory
* Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2200(OC)/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules
* To support DDR3 1600 MHz, you must install an Intel 22nm CPU.

Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
* To support XMP memory, you must install an Intel 22nm CPU.
