I am in the process of updating my gaming PC that I built back in 2013. Here are my current specs:

AMD FX-8350
AMD R9750 3GB
16GB DDR3 (basic ram)

I want to move over to an Intel CPU because they work much better with open world games such as Arma 3 and Squad. Looking at many different cpu comparisons the i5 6600k stands out as a good bang for my buck cpu but I am stuck at what motherboard to go with, I don't know if it is best to get DDR4 or keep my DDR3 ram (I am working on a student budget), if anyone could give me some suggestions on what motherboard to get for a skylake cpu that supports ddr3 ram.

I like the price and look of the Asus Z170-A M5, I am really working on a budget here so do you know what ram would be a good choice as well?

G.Skill NT Series 1x8GB is a good choice for you. PM me for more details.
