Next week i am going to upgrade my pc

Amd phenom ii x4 965
GB GA-770ta-ud3
Corsair vengeance ddr3 1600
Psu Corsair 750W
Gtx 970 msi


I have decided to go with i5 6600k and Asus z170-a
I will use my rig 90% for gaming and a little photoshop.
I am planning to upgrade only cpu mb rams and maybe an m2 ssd.
The rams:
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz CL15 or
Patriot Viper Elite Series DDR4 3000 Mhz 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)
but in the memory support list of the mb these rams are not supported so i am afraid that the rams will not work on 3000mhz.Can you please suggest me rams around 100E that should work on
asus z170-a or these rams are ok?
 
Solution
The Asus Z170-A does support DDR4-3000 with XMP enabled. Motherboard manufacturers usually have few very kits that are listed on the memory support list. That doesn't mean it won't work. It usually means they just didn't test that particular kit (there's too many for them to check them all). 99% chance it's fine.
