You will need to upgrade to DDR4 or DDR3L when upgrading to Skylake man. As far as motherboards go, what is your budget?

While your DDR3 memory will work just fine(you don't need DDR3L) you are going to have to manually input the VCCIO/VCCSA voltage to ensure no damage will happen to the IMC. It will also be considerably slower than just buying a decent DDR4 kit. You can get 3000mhz CL14 (2x8GB) for $105, or 3200mhz CL14 (2x8GB) for $120. If that sounds too pricey, just get a generic DDR4 16GB kit for $60, and I can walk you through a simple 2800mhz overclock. 

 

If you are dead set on using DDR3, here are your only options. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/#s=30&c=110

 

Not a single one of those motherboards support SLI either. Take my advice, and move on to DDR4. Staying with DDR3 on Skylake is just going to hold the rest of your system back.

Well, i am not dead set on ddr3 its just that i have em already, but i guess ill use em to.upgrade girlfriends pc.

 

Now, lets change it a little, we got rid of the ram so lets choose mb and ram for that skylake. Btw got fsp 1000w power supply, guess it should still be ok with that.

 

About the budget...  lets say there is no strick budget but consider best performance per curency, and am not a milionaire

 

Edit: on a second though the price could be around 150-170$ on MB
