there is the i7 6800k, 6850k, 6900k, and 6950X  but they all cost more and unless you video edit for a living i wouldnt recommend them.

on all of these on the intel website they do not support DDR4 3000-3200

they all do

just depends if the MOTHERBOARD supports it

 

check memory type in the specifications 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/k4dFf7/asus-motherboard-z170e

this motherboard supports up to 3466

1. you wasted ridicolous amounts of money

2. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hDqbt6/asus-rampage-v-edition-10-eatx-lga2011-3-motherboard-rampage-v-edition-10

 

it supports up to 3333

 

so a motherboard that supports 3466 cost 1/6 of its price....
