The full name of it is ASUS H110M-D DDR3 so that should be it
 


Official name is H110M-D D3. If you still using DDR3 then yes it would be compatible with the cpu and ram as long you understand that Intel does not officially support DDR3 running higher than 1.35V.

I'm completly lost right now :D Can you tell me some examples of motherboards that would work please?

 


Any of these should work:

About the ram, skylake the architecture that the cpu + motherboard uses only officially support ram voltages of 1.35v for DDR3/DDR3L ram. Most DDR3 may run at 1.35V or 1.5V. Running 1.5V DDR3 may potentially damage the memory controller on the cpu in the long term.

So the best thing i can do right now is to do is to buy a DDR4 motherboard and DDR4 Ram right?

Nah, i checked CPU-Z and it's 1.5V. What im gonna do is get a GIGABYTE H110M-S2H + Kingston 8GB KIT DDR4 Fury Black Series. It's way cheaper than i expected. That would work right?
 


Yes that will work with the i5 6500.
