Hi,
Is this the mobo https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B150M-MORTAR.html#hero-overview
I really don't understand the question, bus speed?
The motherboard has a bus speed of 100 MHz which can be overclocked or amplified via multipliers - but believe me that is serious business and nothing for anybody who don't know what they are doing.
So far I can tell this is a very good mobo.
First, the Professor: You want Intel Core i3 6100
Second: You wrote : Ram gskill which bus is 2400
No, that is incorrect: the memory speed is 2400MHz and I will say No problem!
You need DDR4 for that mobo, but You don't need extremely fast memorys, just regular - the memory will never be a hold up for you.
GTX 950 sounds good.
Best Regards from Sweden
Ps. I'm sorry for my poor grammar.

Unless a motherboard supports XMP, your limited to 2133 RAM speeds. The B150 Mortar motherboard doesn't. The RAM will still work, but will downclock. If you want to run faster RAM, your best bet is to use a Z170 chipset.

No I beg to disagree.
For this purpose it will serve absolutely nothing to recommend a motherboard with faster memory?
Why?
Tell me why it is necessary to have XMP memory?
I've have built more than 25 high performance system in Sweden during the years and never ever found out that the memory was a black heal.
When it comes to overclocking, yeah, XMP by nature will see to it as the CPU frequency and voltage going up, but I prefer to do it manually.

I used to feel as you do, but Skylake has really opened my eyes to what the extra memory bandwidth can do. With higher performance CPU's and graphics cards, faster RAM can easily give a 10 to 20 percent bump in performance. Of course, it depends on the game or application. With DDR4 3000/3200 being not a whole lot more expensive than 2133 (at least here in the US) and Z170 motherboards, some of which are considerably cheaper than some B150/H170 boards, it makes sense to use it.
The video below shows the effect RAM can have on FPS on an i3 6100.

Your answer is what I'm looking for. Do you any ideas for video streaming games?
P.s:
I wished I can change your answer to be best but i dont know how.

Hi,
Exactly what is the problem?
You can easily run these with any ram speed and still get good performance, as I said before.
There is a simple formula one can use when it comes to ram speed of DDR memories, from AnandTech:
It is called Prestanda Index (PI): http://www.anandtech.com/
Citat:
The PI calculation and ‘rules’ are fairly simple:
Performance Index = MHz divided by CL
Assuming the same kit size and installation location are the same, the memory kit with the higher PI will be faster
Memory kits similar in PI should be ranked by MHz
Any kit 1600 MHz or less is usually bad news.
At least PI of 200 preferably.
