I'm planning to get the 'Asus Sabertooth Z87' motherboard with 'Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell' processor.

the Z87 motherboard has four DDR3 DIMM slots with 32GB maximum memory
and 4770K processor allows 32GB DDR3 1333/1600 memory.

which one am i supposed to follow- the motherboard or the processor?

I was planning on getting http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589
this RAM which is a DDR3 2400. does that mean this ram will not work with my processor or does it not relate?
