Is DDR3L 1600mhz to slow!?

[Firstminit]

Hi, I'm making my first gaming pc and have pretty low expectations (60fps@1080p at mid to high settings) but I wasn't thinking about ram speed when I was purchasing parts. My build consist of a skylake i5 6600k (way overkill and my mobo is NOT z170 so no overclocking) 8gb of DDR3L 1600mhz (I believe that's the fastest my mobo will accept from what I've read in its description) and I plan on using a 1050ti or even a 1060 but before I buy the gpu, I want to make sure my ram won't bottleneck the system. I already plan on expanding to 16gb but again, wanting to clear this up before hand.

This is my mobo (yes it's crapy but seemed ok at the time) https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16813135400&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-

Thanks for the help and I'm also wondering what Is the best gpu I could buy before this system becomes a bottleneck (as long as the first question turns out to be yes, 1600mhz IS fast enough)

Yes DDR3 1600 will bottleneck a Skylake CPU. You really want DDR4 3000 or faster to truly take advantage of what the CPU is capable of.

However, not everything will be affected by the lower RAM speed. If gaming is your focus then there are only a few game engines that perform significantly better with faster RAM. Arma 3 and Fallout 4 are examples of games that do better with faster memory.

I don't know why they even made DDR3 boards for Skylake other than to give people a cheap upgrade path.
