4x DDR3 memory slots supporting up to 32GB
Supports DDR3 3200(OC)/ 3100(OC)/ 3000(OC)/ 2800(OC)/ 2666(OC)/ 2600(OC)/ 2400(OC)/ 2200(OC)/ 2133(OC)/ 2000(OC)/ 1866(OC)/
1600/ 1333/ 1066 MHz

the question is how much memory do you have and want total, are you using windows x32 bits or x64 and what's your budget

z97 = i5 4690(k)


for a i5 6600(k) you need a z170 based motherboard, also need ddr4 ram
