Confuse need help

[techn0 newbie]

MSI Z170A Gaming M5 says: it support DDR4-3600+(OC) Memory
but my processor says: Memory Types DDR4-1866/2133, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.35V
and the my choice in ram is GSkill Ripjaws V 16GB Dual DDR4 3200

does
MSI Z170A Gaming M5 MOBO
Intel Core i5-6600K 3.50-3.90GHz Skylake Proccesor
and
GSkill Ripjaws V 16GB Dual DDR4 3200

COMPATIBLE ??

Yes, the Mb only stated the maximun speed of ram you could use (with overcloking).

You could use the Ripjaws at 2133 (stock) or at 3200 with overcloking.

Looking at MSI's list, it is compatible.

It's compatible, but i'd advise against overclocking the RAM

If you are gaming it will bring you no benefit, while costing you more money and shortening the life of the RAM.

RAM speed is almost never the bottleneck in gaming.

so does it mean all 3 parts are compatible ?

DO I REALLY NEED TO OVERCLOCK EVEN IM ONLY PLAYING DOTA2 and other console games with highres ? i dont edit videos

You do not need to overclock.

Get DDR4 2133Mhz

You do not need to overclock.

Get DDR4 2133Mhz

so should i just get locked intel procesor ? to cut down cost but still the same efficiency

Overclocking the CPU has a linear effect on cpu performance

overclocking RAM does not.

But it really depends on how balanced your system is.

Is it gaming you want it for?
If you have a weak gpu and a strong cpu overclocking your cpu makes no difference.
But if you have a strong gpu and weak cpu overclocking the cpu will increase performance.
Overclocking RAM won't have an effect in either scenario.
