You will need to sell the DDR3 RAM, and buy some DDR4-2400.

I'd also save up for a GPU upgrade, as it will be a bottleneck in your system.

Oh wow thanks.

I found
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 3000MHZ Memory (RED)

Would this work?

The gpu is just wanted to play company of heroes, basically strategy games of old

It works, but would downclock to 2400MHz (a chipset limitation of B250).

I'd choose the ASRock B250M Pro4

Best PCI layout, has a USB 3.0 C-connector, 4x RAM slots, and 2x fan headers.

The ASUS ROG Strix would be in 2nd place due to its superior audio chip.
