How to use 2400MHz RAM with E3-1230v3?

[PzrrL]

I would like to ask if I can overclock E3-1230v3 because I am planning to buy "G.SKILL TridentX Extreme F3-2400C10Q-32GTX DDR3 2400MHz 32GB Kit (4x8GB)".
I am new to overclocking and the only thing I know is that if I don't overclock the RAM, they will just stay at 1600MHz.
Is it necessary to overclock my CPU in order to use the 2400MHz RAM?
It will be great if I don't need to buy another CPU.
Sorry for my bad English and look forward to the replies.

Think you'll be stuck at 1600, for 2400 I recommend a K model i5 or i7 and yes at 2400 a slight CPU OC may still be required
