is this good ram

Solution
No, that Motherboard will support the kit due to being 4x4GB kit *Edited*. Nothing wrong with the kit, it's Crucial a well known brand and looks pretty standard to me, reason it's cheap is most likely because it lacks the flashy heatsinks like most kits (which won't matter much unless your Overclocking) and it's a 2133 MHz kit which is the slowest DDR4 frequency but this also would be pretty irrelevant in most cases (besides your Motherboard can only support up to 2400 MHz). Go with the suggestions made below by Chicano *Edited*.

First off, the motherboard supports 2 RAM modules, the RAM you picked is 4x4GB Modules... I used pcpartpicker to select several RAM brands and prices for DDR4 in 2133 Mhz to 2666 Mhz in 2x8GB kits, so you can pick the price you like.. any of the selected RAM brands are top rated brands so any kit you pick should do great. Prices range from $99.97 to $119.00


DDR4 2x8GB kits 2133 Mhz to 2666 Mhz (Mobo supports up to 2400 Mhz)

If you haven't bought/ordered the motherboard, it's priced much lower at Newegg (ignore this part, I didn't read your price was in canadian dolars)

Right... I corrected my answer. minutes after posting it.. your motherboard will still support two Ram sticks only... so, if you buy that 4x4 GB kit, you'll wind up with only 8GB installed.... So either you select another motherboard with 4 RAM slots, or buy 16GB in a two stick kit (2 x 8 GB)
