This MB officially works with DDR-4 2133mhz. However, you'll either be able to overclock the ram to 2400mhz(check for stability) or run it at 2133mhz.

It is compatible. But why an i7? Any mobo other than the Z170 supports only upto 2133MHz ram, so if any other kit is cheaper, get that.

Ok so if i go with the Kingston HyperX Fury Black DDR4 2133 16GB (2x8GB) kit it should be fine. Perfomance wise the difference in clock between these two isnt big right?

And no OCing at all will be done on this PC. Just need a stock stable and a fast pc for a friend, without the grahpics card.

A 530W PSU should offer more than enough of juice for this system right?


The PC:
Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H
Intel Core i7-6700
Kingston HyperX Fury Black Kit DDR4 2133 2x 8GB
Samsung SSD 850 EVO (Basic) Series 250GB
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003
Fractal Design Define R4
be quiet! Pure Power CM BQT L8-CM-530W

i7 for light photo and video editing, no gaming nor OCing though. i5 should be more than enough aswell but a friend has a $900 budget so why not use the i7 in the build.

Build is good.
