The chosen i5 will work with the motherboard you referenced, along with compatible DDR4 memory.

Ignore the entry referring to DDR3 memory (which will only work with a DDR3 compatible motherboard). The CPU will work with both DDR4 and DDR3 memory, dependent on the type used by the motherboard (supported by its chipset).
