yeah i had a similar question
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2181538/understanding-skylake-cpus.html
basically if you have 200-300 or possibly more for 8gb of ddr4 ram then its release date is 2015 Q3 if you want it but at 70-80 (possibly lower) for 8gb then ddr4 is for you in 2016 early - mid quater.
If that mobo is out now then no its ddr3 drr4 as i said hasnt reached the market yet. If it releases when skylake hits or late 2015 (skylake is around Q4 2015-Q1-2 2016) then it's either be with 2 ddr3 slots and 2 ddr4 slots or only ddr4. I was going to wait but its 2016 so unless you want to wait 1year 6months.

DDR4 support is CPU dependent.
Intel is first planning this with the Broadwell-EP and Broadwell-EX processors which may come out the end of this year. These are server or enthusiast processors and will be expensive.
First mainstream processor support will be Skylake, which we might see late next year.
DDR4 support will also require new motherboards to go with these processors.
Don't imagine though that you will see any great performance improvement with DDR4. Current processors are not being hampered by memory bandwidth available with DDR3.
