What Ram & Motherboard to use for i5 6400?

[saihejs1ngh]

So i am completely new to all this PC-Building shenanigans, and i have decided to build my new PC in around June this year. I have constructed my list of parts i`ll be using in my build, and have decided to pick a i5 6400 Processor and a H110M motherboard w/8GB DDR-3 Ram for my build, as i am trying stick with my tight budget.

However, at the moment, im not really too sure if my motherboard and ram i picked in my build, are compatible with the processor.

Is the ram and motherboard in this build fully compatible with the processor?

It is fully compatible. From you buying from Australia or India? Name sounds like Indian.

Intel recommends not using DDR3 RAM with Skylake CPU's as it may damage the memory controller long term. Either use DDR3L or a different H110 board and DDR4. I would also change the PSU to something with better quality.
