DDR4 is currently only compatible with skylake, haswell-e, and broadwell-e processors. If you already have an adequate power supply, case, drive(s), and GPU (if you need one) then you'll need a motherboard and a CPU to take advantage of the RAM you bought.

More detail, what is your full pc spec and what motherboard did you buy.

You will most likely need a new CPU as any CPU that worked with a motherboard that supported ddr2 won't fit a motherboard that supports ddr4.

You need new RAM

And depending on version and if your Windows is OEM you may need a new windows licence.
