Is your cpu 6600K ?
if so, you will be better with a Z170 MB.
as for ram - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/y9rcCJ/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2a2400c16 is kinda standard thing to go with.

No its a 6600 there is no k there so z170mb will be good with this and with my gtx960?
and thank you for fast replies guys :d

Would this motherboard work with it ? Gigabyte Z170 HD3 Skylake DDR3 CrossFire ATX Motherboard

n0ns3ns3 · Jun 30, 2016

no need for Z170 with non K cpus. would be kinda waste of money.
What is your budget ?

tomko222 · Jun 30, 2016

it only costs 82 pounds it isnt expensive i think

tomko222 · Jun 30, 2016

but if u can tell me a better one or a cheaper one than pls do :d

n0ns3ns3 · Jun 30, 2016

generaly, H170, B150 MBs are good for you and they cost 40-70 pounds.

tomko222 · Jun 30, 2016

Its the same price on the website i am looking at so if i were to buy one which one woul dbenefit more? they both cost around the same anyway

n0ns3ns3 · Jun 30, 2016

Z170 is generally higher class.

tomko222 · Jun 30, 2016

so will this motheroard do for my graphgics ? and cpu ? and with these rams? 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance Jet Black Low Profile 1600MHz CL10 DDR3 Dual/Quad Channel Kit [CML16GX3M2A1600C10]

n0ns3ns3 · Jun 30, 2016

no, you need DDR4 for this MB/CPU 2400mhz is fine

tomko222 · Jun 30, 2016

For the last time i found this motherboard is it good ? Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 ATX Motherboard [CrossFire] 4x ram slots

or shall i go for this one: Asus Z170-K Intel Skylake ATX Motherboard

does not really matter.
Gigabyte has more USB ports, but asus has type C.
just look at the connectivity and pick whatever best answer your needs.
