I recently purchased some ram off of a guy on Reddit and failed to recognize that it is DDR4 (I am a total noob to this stuff). I have been looking to upgrade my current PC which will need a new motherboard, processor, and RAM. I was in the market for an i5 with a high K but am not quite sure if I can run processor with this RAM. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the ram i got: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mushkin-Radioactive-997123Y-DDR3-UDIMM-16GB-kit-2x8GB-PC3-19200-2400MHZ-11-13-13-31-Frostbyte-Yellow-1.65V/49330983

hang on, in your first sentence you said it is ddr4, but the link is ddr3, which is it? Then follow madmatt's advice, ddr4= sky/kabylake, ddr3 = everything earlier than that. Ryzen = DDR4 only.
