Does it really matter ?

Hey,i planning to build a Skylake pc but i'm on a budget and now i'm choosing the ram . I found really cheap memory from amd (i haven't known that amd memory excists) link : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820403072&cm_re=AMD_r7_performance-_-20-403-072-_-Product

But when i go to page of the mobo that i'm considering to buy there is list called memory support link : http://www.msi.com/product/motherboard/support/H110M-PRO-VD.html#support-mem and i can't find the ram i'm looking at (in fact the list is really short) . My question is does this list really matter ?

YOU WANT TO purchase memory in matching pairs in the same retail pack.

QVL memory list are never complete , many others will work.

I cant say for sure. Most likely It would work, but it's a CAS15, which is way too high imo.

Case 15 is NORMAL RANGE for DDR4.

I've taken a fast read on Amazon and found CL12 and CL4 with no problem. I've seen also CL17 so yep, I said nothing. Looks lik 15

Why did you type YOU WANT TO with capitals 😀 ? You meant that with the different types of memory showed in the list the PC will work better ?

Your mobo is dual channel - he's saying a 2x is the best way to go and you want to buy both sticks in a single pack, buying single sticks even if the same exact model offer no guarantees they will play together - the stick you show is a 4GB so guessing you are thinking 8GB total which is basically the minimum you should get for a new build (16GB is better) soo look for a 2x4GB set or a 2x8GB set
