Actually, there's two version of the same mobo.
One is DDR4 the other is DDR3.

OP gotta be careful on which you choose. Make absolute sure you're getting the DDR4 version of it, otherwise it won't work.

Aside from that, the only thing i'd change on your build is the PSU. Rather low quality if you ask me, i wouldn't put a RX 480 on it.
See this list for more info...

I can recommend these options:
XFX Pro 550W
Seasonic S12 520W
SuperNOVA G or B2 550W

Good catch. Their model numbering is weird here...but as I mentioned with the -A model, the DDR4 RAM supported is only up to 2133, so the 2400 RAM will need to be downclocked. Or of course just get some 2133 RAM instead.

Yes, that would be best.
Just to ensure that nothing bad will happen to your precious rig.




I know right? Weird...
I believe only Z170 mobos have higher stock speed than the default 2133. If OP isn't spending much on RAM no need to change it IMO. Although i would dearly recommend you get 2x8GB of RAM. Just 8GB nowadays is a bit too little...
