How should I future proof? CPU limited to 1333 MHz, Motherboard limited to 2133 MHz

[chrisdab]

I am putting together a computer build from parts I had.

The Parts

• 
  The motherboard I am using is an ASUS P8Z68-V / GEN3. The manual says the motherboard is can handle up to 2200 MHz but limits it to 2133 MHz.
  I also have an Intel i7 2600k which the internet says is limited to 1333 MHz.

The Questions

• 
  What memory should I get to last me for future builds?
  Is the P8Z68-V / GEN3 a keeper or should I upgrade the motherboard in a future build?

Future proof? NO.

Keep in mind, 1) nobody will know how long the Z68 MB will last. 2) The DDR3 RAM can not be used for the newer gen PC, or future build (either intel or AMD) anymore, because they use the DDR4 RAM already. 3) Is the i7 2600 still good for gaming in 2017? yes, but it depends on what games you play.

If you have the budget, then upgrade the whole PC ( new cpu, MB, DDR4 RAM, even the new GPU, new PSU too), otherwise buy either DDR3 1866mhz, 2133mhz, or 2200 ( 2400) mhz RAM.
