Is the i5-7600K compatible with Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (or 3000MHz) RAM?

[Spiros94]

I'm about to upgrade my computer with a new CPU (i5-7600K), mobo (Gigabyte's Z270 Gaming K3) and RAM (2 sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4-3200MHz or 3000MHz, not sure which one I want to pay for yet).

I have an ATI Radeon Sapphire R9 380 4GB don't know if that is relevant. Are there gonna be any compatibility issues in that setup? I've already checked on Intel's site for i5-7600K - Z270 compatibility and it says it's good, so I'm really asking about all the rest... Any help with be greatly appreciated!! ^_^

Also for some reason Intel Community wouldn't "allow" me to "create or update this content"

Yep, will work just fine, although I'd go for the new 8600k and a Z370 board, marginally more expensive but you get a bit better IPC and 2 extra cores.

Thanks for the reply man! I found the 8600K at 270€, whereas the 7600K at 212€, it's a lot and I really want to keep the money in check Plus I've had an i5-2500 for the past 5-6 years so I'll probably be really really satisfied with the upgrade as it is ^_^

Well this is the biggest upgrade in terms of performance since Sandy Bridge (2011) for the Intel mainstream line because they finally bumped up the core count. But you will be ok for a few years with the 7600k.
