I have been switching back and forth on motherboards, but in the end I decided to go with the ASRock Z170A-X1 LGA 1151 Intel Z170. Since its a board that supports the new skylake CPUs, it can use DDR4 RAM, but I see no option for DDR3. Will DDR3 be compatible with the board?

The RAM I will be using: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8GB (2 x 4GB)

some can some cant and then the ones that can use ddr3 are limited to ddr3L [1.35v] sticks

looks like that model just does ddr4 only

I feel if doing skylake you better off with a true ddr4 board anyway [but that's just me ] then againI would not conceder skylake to start with when I still can build a fine haswell that's not full of issues and proprietary as skylake is and near forced to use win-10
