any board with a Z170 chipset will take advantage of almost all DDR4 speeds. any chipsets lower then Z170 only support DDR4 ram @ 2133mhz

You can always have higher MHz but highly doubt you will need it. It all depends on your CPU and the motherboard. I suggest just going with 2133 MHz.

EX. I have i7 5960x with Corsair LPX DDR4 2800.. but it only goes up to 2600Mhz.. I tried to overclock it to 2800 and it just wont post.
Every motherboard OEM has a webpage for each board, on that page is a list of tested ram modules (often under support section/tab)
These are modules that the mobo manufacturer has tested and approved on their board.
Does not mean that others wont work, but it means if you get ram in that list it is garanteed to work.
Not getting ram in that list is can be risky as you may very well get stuck in limbo between the ram and mobo vendors poitning fingers at each other instead of issuing you an RMA if you ever need it.
