Yes, that motherboard would work :)
If this if your first build, though, I would recommend the H97 PRO4 (compatible with DDR3-1600) or the Z97 Anniversary (compatible with all the RAM that you listed).



Hey, I am using the Gigabyte AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 760G HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboard GA-78LMT-USB3, I am planing to build a computer and this is my first time, I do not have much knowledge about building PCs, so I appreciate any help!
 


Your specific motherboard is compatible with DDR3-1333 or DDR3-1066. Either of the above RAMs wouldn't work well.
 




Hey, What if I use this motherboard instead: Gigabyte ATX Socket AM3+ AMD 970 Chipset 2000MHz DDR3 SATA III 6Gbps Ready AMD 9 Series FX Motherboards GA-970A-D3P?

this is my first pc build so im a noob 😛
