I got 16Gigs of Corsair vengeance C15 3000Mhz RAM. I am building a custom gaming rig and is waiting for kaby-lake to be released.
I want to this memory is/will be compatible with kaby lake processors with 200 series motherboards.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Solution
I'll let you know in a couple of days with first hand information. Just ordered some of the white modules for a Gigabyte Aorus 5 (newegg) and a new i7-7700k (amazon). Newegg has i5-7600k for $250.

Official release date is today, and there are a few around. Not everybody had everything up or in stock. Which is why I stuck to the big retailers. Newegg has let me down before, I think I ordered my GTX1080 on release day 2 or 3 times from them, ended up getting it from Amazon.
Hey Eximo, I decided to with i7-7700k instead of i5 and pairing it with Asus Strix Z270E.
Can you suggest a good cooler for it.
An air cooler (probably corsair 212X) will work or should I go with a liquid cooler. I am thinking to go with Corsair H55 or H80I.
 
I've had an h80i, they are decent but certainly over priced, might as well get something like an h100i. (I needed the h80i for space constraints)

You could probably get away with the 212 at stock settings and maybe a mild overclock, of course that means something like 4.8Ghz to the i7-7700k. There are alternatives in that price range. Cryorig H7, Deepcool Gammaxx 400, Thermaltake NiC, BeQuiet Dark Rock, a few others.
