PC Build/Upgrade Question Anonymous 2016-07-12 07:37:26 Post No. 154660 [Report]

I`m currently planning on upgrading from my i7 920 CPU and P6T Asus Motherboard. I have to admit my knowledge about CPU's and Mboards is probably not the best.

So here is my Problem:
I´m thinking of buying a new Skylake CPU (Intel Core i5 6600K) with a ASRock Z170 Pro4 Motherboard and some new RAM (DDR3). But only know I noticed that this CPU only seems to support DDR4...
Will this build still work, or is it not compatible? Probably not, right?
Any suggestions or tipps?

I am limited to my budget atm (400 - 450€), just as a side note.

Skylake doesn't support DDR3; only DDR4 and DDR3L.

You'd be an idiot to buy new DDR3L.

I realised that now after a long research.
So now I´m planing to buy a MSI Z170A TOMAHAWK Intel Z170 instead, with the i5 6600k. And obviously DDR4 Ram. I can´t do anything wrong with this coice, right?
