I'd look for a better mobo and if moving to the Skylake (6600K) go ahead and move to DDR4, these DDR3 based mobos are really designed for OCing and the low voltage DDR3 will hold you back, the 6600K is primarily designed towards DDR4 which starts out at 2133 DRAM

If you want to use the memory you have now you'll need a different board that supports DDR3. The Asus board I listed supports DDR4. I did not see the power supply mentioned in the parts list so I have no idea what's in there. Usually OEM power supplies are not very good. You'll have to open the case and check the label on the power supply to see what's up there. Also, the case appears small but is listed as a mid-tower. No motherboard info is given to determine if it's ATX or micro-ATX or what the case supports. These issues need to be addressed before you can move forward with the changeover from AMD to Intel.

I've been building with only Asus boards for many years now and never had a failure yet, although others have. I still think they are the best.
