You will need the new DDR4 memory. The DDR3 or DDR2 memory will not work with the new LGA 1151 boards & CPU's.
EDIT:
Unless you get DDR3L memory, 1333MHz or 1600MHz @ 1.35V.
EDIT2:
Nope, just checked the specs on the MB and you will need to get the new DDR4 memory, not any type of DDR3 memory.

Your RAM is DDR3 and the Mobo you listed only takes DDR4. I know there are some Skylake (socket 1151) Mobo's that take both DDR3 and/or DDR4.
Here are some H170 Mobo's that take DDR3 RAM.

Micro ATX is a smaller version of an ATX Mobo. Most ATX Mobo's have 7 expansion slots (PCI-e, PCI, etc.). Most Micro ATX Mobo's come with 4 expansion slots, so you are only limiting your possible expansion capabilities a little. Quite a while ago it wasn't uncommon to have several of the expansion slots used for a dedicated GPU, Sound Card, Network card, etc., so having more expansion slots was a good thing. These days most Mobo's cover all of the necessary bases. You have onboard Sound, even onboard GPU (which is integrated onto most CPU's these days), and even 1 or 2 network connections. Most Mobo's only need RAM, CPU, & a HD to work as a fully functioning computer.
ATX Mobo below w/7 expansion slots:
Micro ATX Mobo below w/4 expansion slots:
So what ends up happening for most people, is you can get a Micro ATX Mobo and save on the cost of the Mobo/Case, because you wouldn't need a bigger case to hold the smaller Mobo with. There is even a small Mobo (Mini-ITX) that only has 1 expansion slot and thus limits your upgrade/expansion capabilities.
So you can decide on what works best for your situation, but 98% of people will be fine with at least a Micro ATX Mobo.

Yes, it's DDR4 memory so it should work. Don't know what price you are talking about. Here's some to pick from. Pretty good prices too.
