You are going to have a hard time fitting a CPU with 1151 pins on a socket 1150 mainboard. Change the CPU or change the board. Make sure the board OEM QVL list has the RAM model you choose listed.

What if I change the board to a: Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX DDR4 Motherboards GA-Z170X-UD5

Then it would work. Still should double-check the QVL for the RAM before purchasing RAM.
