DDR3 lga 1151 board?

I am planning on upgrading to an i5 6600 and I need advice on the best lga 1151 motherboard with ddr3 support.

 

Thanks!  :)

Ddr3 isn't good for skylake.

Why would you do that? Ram is cheap as chips. If you want DDR3 go with Haswell.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Moving to a high end DDR4 set is more expensive, especially if you already have a high end DDR3/L set. I got Asrock B150M Combo-G which looks like a nice transition board as it can do 2 DDR3 or 2 DDR4. If it will handle my ECC 16 GB DDR3L stick then I'll stick with that stick for now (should support in non-ECC mode).

Really?

Well, it's CL15. If you want something similar to 1600/CL9 then you would need something like 2133/CL12. It all comes to how much "performance" you are after for.

I will eventually but I would prefer to not spend the money on new ram right now.  I would like to slowly upgrade my PC, not all at once.
