New to OCing - want to go skylake with motherboard that supports my 16 gb of 1600mhz DDR3

Hello, i have some questions regarding OCing which i'm most definitely very new to.
I'm currently using a ivy bridge motherboard that has a i5-3470 processor with a stock cooler.
My recent purchase of a GTX 1070 proved to bottleneck it, but i quite expected that. I decided to start saving up and buy a i5-6600k with a decent cooler.

Here's the thing, i know skylake is not meant to support DDR3 type of memory, but there are some motherboards that do support it. Maybe some of you may be able to recommend one. I would prefer to just reuse my current memory because i already have 16 GB of it, and the differences between 3 and 4 haven't really convinced me to make that jump as of yet. I would like to know what sorts of motherboards would be good for overclocking such a processor and if i would have any limitations, issues or anything of that sort because of my rather specific choice of hardware.

Your 16GB of DDR3 probably won't be supported. The motherboards for Skylake that do support DDR3 only support DDR3L (low voltage). Your RAM is probably 1.5V or 1.65V, the Skylake mottherboards need 1.2V RAM. Just save for a little longer and get the DDR4 or get a better Ivy Bridge CPU.
