Question msi z370 gaming plus MB is being VERY particular about it's RAM ... can you pls recommend which to get?

[berbes]

hello! building a gamer for a client who gave me all the parts. Can't get it to boot. Either the MSI is very particular about it's RAM or the MB is not good. He gave me 2 Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 ver 5.32 (8gb) sticks, but when you go to the MSI website, it's close but not 100% on the list. there are SO many viable choices, but I'm getting lost with which type to buy. The list of memory to use is here:

thanks for any ideas or help!

That memory is not on the MSI QVL, If you want corsair here is the memory finder,https://www.corsair.com/us/en/memoryfinder?type=motherboard
I cant get it to work right from where I am.

i have a dead MSI Z370 Gaming Plus MB. what are some good MB's comparable in that class/price for gaming? I already have the processor, memory, M.2, etc., but the MSI was very restrictive as far as the exact RAM needed.

thanks!
