Hey guys,
Hope everything is great.

So I've just purchased a i5 7500 and MSI H110M Pro VH-PLUS ( with kaby lake compatible bios ) and also Corsair VS450 , Corsair 100R Case, WD BLUE 1 TB HDD 7200RPM.

Just RAM and GPU is left to purchase.
For GPU I'll go with GTX 1060 6GB

So the main thing is RAM, as my Mobo only supports 2 Sticks @2133mhz ( 32GB Max ). I have to buy a 16GB stick for now for better expansion in future.

So I've chosen G.Skill Ripjaws V 2400mhz 16GB (1 stick for now)
But if I wanna buy 2133mhz then I have only Corsair Valueselect 8GB 2133MHZ ( 16GB maximum with 2 Sticks )

So will add G.Skill Ripjaws V 2400mhz 16GB 1 Stick now, and Another within 2 months.

So please tell me if there will be any Problems if I buy 2400mhz RAM.
And also does a h110 Motherboard will have any issues with kaby lake ( with Updated BIOS )

This PC will be mostly used for Video Production and Graphics Designing as well as for Gaming. Somethings Web Browsing etc.

Thanks for your time :)

The 2400 memory will just run at 2133, so that's totally fine.


Combining two memory sticks that weren't sold together, even if they're the exact same brand and speed/capacity, carries a small risk of compatibility issues.

The Kaby Lake CPU will also work totally fine, IF the BIOS is already up to date. If not, it will normally require putting a Skylake CPU in the board to update the BIOS to work with Kaby Lake. So that's something to watch out for.

Yes, Bios is Updated.
What if I fresh install Windows when putting the 2nd stick of RAM, Will there still be compatibly issues?

Your ram will run at 2133 no matter what you buy, but it'll be fine. I'd get a 2*8gb kit not a single 16. I can't see more than 16 becoming any use at all for a long time and the dual channel 16 will help a lot more often than even going from 8 to 16 will

But nobody buys all 4 rams for their Motherboard when building the Rig.
