I'm ordering a new case and motherboard, and I was going to get 2 8gb ram sticks but I don't know if they are compatible with the motherboard. Is there something that will tell me that?

you dont really need DDR4 you can get ddr3 and a ddr3 board.

You have the the right type of ram, but the clock rate is not supported.

or this

or this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104531&cm_re=ddr4_2133_16_gb-_-20-104-531-_-Product
