What parts of the PC has to be compatible with the RAM. I am pretty sure it's just the CPU and motherboard but just in case, I'd like to know.

I am going to be using an intel core i5-7600k processor with an MSi Z270-A Pro motherboard. What type of RAM what I need for those? Non-ECC vs ECC? What other parts of the RAM would those be compatible with?

Thank you, does the memory have to be compatible with the CPU too?

No, the CPU shows that it supports 2133/2400 however the motherboard will support higher speeds, just enable XMP in the BIOS.

That link isn't actually showing me a list, can you check if it's right?
