I have 4x8gb (32gb) ram and I was wondering if it would work with the I5 6600k CPU, I don't want to use it just in case something goes wrong.
And which motherboards support DDR3 and DDR4?
Thanks! :)

So this mobo doesn't support overclocking, so you can't get everything out of the cpu. If you want to overclock in the future you'd have to get a new mobo and the letter before the numbers would have to be Z. As for the ram depends on your country but maybe a local hardware store? maybe ebay? It depends. And for this motherboard you'll need DDR4-2133 RAM, also a quick tip you wont be needing more than 8gb of ram if you're only gaming. gl :)

Thanks, but I'll use the motherboard for now, then after a couple of months I will give it to a friend and get the Z170 or Z270.
I'm going to keep the K processor just so I can OC after getting the new motherboard.
Thanks! :)
