Hello All, I am trying to build a new Desktop for my own and I need help finding the right RAM for it.

I have i5 6600k (CPU)
Asus ROG Strix Z270E (Motherboard)
Asus GeForce GTX1060
Corsair H60

My question is, does RAM memory depend on only the CPU or the motherboard?

I did some research and my CPU can only take up to DDR4 2133 RAM Memory but my motherboard can take up to DDR4 2400 I believe.

I would appreciate so much if you guys help! Thanks-
 
Solution
Without overclocking, your CPU can only use 2133 Mhz RAM. But, that board allows RAM OC, so you can use much faster RAMs, even 3000 or 3200 Mhz without any problem.
