Hi! so i am planning on upgrading my rig for gaming,its pretty old
Here are the specs:-
CPU:- AMD athlon ii x2 245
GPU:-AMD radeon hd 6670
RAM:- 2gb
Mobo:- M4N68T-M LE V2
PSU:- Zebronics 450w

i know i need to change almost every thing..but i'm tight on budget so changing one by one.
My future build is
CPU:- Intel pentium G4560
GPU:-AMD Radeon rx 460
RAM:- 8gb
for the ram i have bought GSKILL 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ RIPJAWS X
i know its a mistake..i should have taken ddr4 but i didn't knew about it at that time
PSU:- i donno..Help me :)
Mobo:-Gigabyte H110M-DS2 DDR3 LGA1151 - 6th Generation MotherBoard (LGA1151, DDR3, Micro-ATX, PCI-E 3.0)

http://www.amazon.in/Gigabyte-H110M-DS2-DDR3-LGA1151-MotherBoard/dp/B0160WXT1S?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t

So G4560 need lga 1151 motherboard..Ddr3 cuz i have already bought the ram
So will G4560 work on ddr3 lga 1151 motherboard? if No.Whats the better cpu for my ram?
Thank you (you can give suggestions too..i am new to pc build)
Ps I am from India :)
 
Kaby Lake supposedly does have a DDR3L memory controller, but I'm not sure if any of the DDR3 boards have BIOS support for it. The board you linked to does not support the G4560, it only supports older Skylake CPUs. Odds are you'd need an older Skylake CPU to get a BIOS update for such a motherboard, as I don't think any 200 series chipset boards have been released with DDR3 support.

I'd say return the RAM and get DDR4, DDR3 is obsolete and keeping it severely restricts what you can get, especially if you're on a budget. To get similar performance as the G4560 on a DDR3 compatible platform you'd be looking at spending more money to get an older Core i3 and at that point you might as well just spend the extra money to get DDR4 RAM.
