Will I be able to enable XMP with my 10400F on a H410 motherboard?

So I'm thinking of upgrading my 3770 (non k) to an i5-10400F. However I need some help with which type of RAM to pair it with since I'm on a budget.

 

I'm in between getting either the Gigabyte H410M motherboard or the MSI H410M-A PRO. thinking of pairing it with either 2x G.Skill Aegis 8GB (16 cas latency) clocked at 3000mhz or 2x HyperX Fury 8GB (15 cas latency) clocked at 2400mhz. I haven't read much on H410 motherboards so let's say I get the G Skill ram would I be able to do an XMP overclock to 2666mhz because I think that's the highest the 10400F can go or will the H410 motherboard bottleneck me. plus does Cas latency matter much on Intel CPU's?

 

I know the 10400F is kind of a wasted potential with faster Ram's, I was eyeing the R5-3600 until here in Europe the prices skyrocketed and now it costs 190 euros, while the 10400F is at 130-140 euros for now. and I don't think I'll wait on Alder Lake and DDR5.

 

That's all, Thanks in advance!

 

My specs for now.

CPU: i7-3770 non k

GPU: GTX 1070

RAM:8GB

PSU:Corsair-VS550 (I'll replace this one later down the line)

Motherboard:ASUS P8H61-M LX3 PLUS R2.0

2x HDD's

1 SSD

Yes, but it will be stuck at 2666mhz but with the XMP timings.

 

The latency for this setup isn't going to be very meaningful. I'd get the cheapest 2666 or better RAM you can get.

So pretty much I'll go with the gskill, the price difference is around the same. Thank you
