Hey, so i want to get i7 6800k but according to this http://ark.intel.com/pl/products/94189/Intel-Core-i7-6800K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz it supports RAM up to 2400MHz ( DDR4 2400/2133 ) ? Is not it the best generation of intel CPU's ? Whats going on here.. what CPU will support those 3200HMz ram if the newest generation dose not?

Thats the base intel supported. To get anything higher, you will need to enable XMP in the BIOS to get your RAM speed above that. Otherwise it will default to 2133mhz iirc.

Is that hard to do? Also would it have any negative effect like for example the ram or CPU will die faster because of that?

nope, no negative effect at all. It is very simple to do. Most UEFI BIOS's have a simple button you click to enable XMP.
