Well i am building a new Gaming PC with i7-4770k, ASUS GTX 780, 2 or 4x 1600MHZ DDR3 RAM and was thinking of getting ASUS Z87-PRO as it matches my graphic card and someone told me to use intel motherboard for better compatibility, is it so? I though every motherboard should have same compatibility with processor since they are specifically for 1150 socket (In my case).. Is it so?

I thought its always better to match the companies of mobo and GPU, what u r saying is theoretical. Theoretically every 1600MHZ RAM should be compatible to each other but still we add same models for multiple sticks.

We meet again. But... Really it doesn't matter, as long as the parts are compatible, so I really don't see what you are getting at. RAM is very delicate, that's why if you mix and match, things MAY not work.
