Recently my motherboard caught fire so i have to toss it. My setup was

DFI LanParty x58-t3eh6
Intel Core i7 920
1xDDR3 Corsair 8GB 1600Mhz
Palit GTX 1060 6GB

Eventually i need to change motherboard and CPU

I was thinking of GIGABYTE Z370 HD3 & Intel Core i7 8700
I already have 2x4 DDR4 HyperX 2133Mhz

Do you think it's worth buying or should i check for an i5 instead?
Will these RAM work together?

(I want to play BF1 at good fps at 1080p and decent settings)

I searched at the compatibility list and its not in there. There is even at an MSI Z170 but not on that Gigabyte Z370 HD3. I guess its not on the list because they can't test every single ram. You think buying is an overkill for gaming use only?
