I have never heard of it. I wouldn't buy it myself. That doesn't mean it wouldn't work but I'd rather trust a name brand with a warranty I trust.

What are you buying it for?

Gaming and video editing. I have 16GB right now but I still have 2 slots left, I'm thinking about getting the same sticks again and doubling it wouldn''t be a bad idea. I want the videos to render faster to, and more RAM is the way to go for that as far as I understand.

Yes it's completely different. It won't physically fit as it's keyed differently nor is the memory controller on your 4790K designed to use DDR4. The first Intel motherboards/CPUs to support DDR4 are from the next generation after yours.

You need, ideally. - a matched set bought as one kit.

Might work. - matching the speed, timings and voltage of what you have now. If you have say 1.5v DDR3 1600 cas 9 you would want to match that identically. Intel is more forgiving than AMD when mixing RAM.

Probably will cause errors/instability. - Adding some random memory.

Is it worth upgrading my motherboard and everything for DDR4?

It really really depends on you. For gaming I wouldn't unless you're running a GTX 1080/RTX 2070 tier card. Do you want a new computer? You'd need a motherboard, RAM and a CPU minimum. The 4790K is still a solid performer.

I have a 1070 right now.. I think I wanna get a new motherboard to be honest and I guess more ram that’s ddr4 instead of ddr3. And keep the same cpu

You can't. As I said above the first generation from Intel to support DDR4 is Skylake which is one newer than yours. The memory controller is on the CPU. Yours does not support DDR4.

If I was going to upgrade the motherboard and the ram and the CPU, what would be good for high quality gaming with a 1070? I also have 2 144hrtz monitors so I’m trying to get up to 144 FPS.

Intel. Faster in sheer gaming performance but more expensive.

AMD. A very solid choice now with Ryzen.

I'm assuming you want 32GB. For gaming alone 16GB is plenty but you came here looking for RAM. The Intel system with do better with 4 sticks and the AMD system will do better with 2 so those choices are on purpose.

Thank you so much. I’ll check out the parts! It’s always nice to see people on here helping out. Hopefully I can get all the parts and maybe even post a picture of the finale build. Thanks for your help!
