Ram, SSD and GPU for MSI Z370-A PRO?

[gamefreaker51]

Hello, I recently was just checking my compatibility for my first computer that I will be building. I went on the MSI support test for my motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z370-A-PRO#support-test

RAM: I am going to get the Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0123ZBPDA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 I searched up the code for it I couldn't find it. On the site it also says 3000MHz(OC). So if that RAM isn't compatible should I just get this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013H7QBTG/ref=twister_B07CTR53KF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 If it is compatible.

Storage: I am going to get the 860 EVO: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07864WMK8/ref=twister_B079P94LLX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Which I also couldn't find on the page. Or is that just HDD?

GPU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KMVHB6M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 I looked on the VGA tap on the MSI support site and it wasn't there. Does VGA mean SLI or something?

Does the NZXT S340 case also match the Motherboard and GPU size? The NZXT specs say that it has 2xUSB 3.0 I/O ports but the Z370 only has 4xUSB 3.1(front), 4xUSB 3.1(back), 4xUSB 2.0(front), 2xUSB 2.0(back)?
CPU: i5 8400
I just wanted to check the compativility of these PC parts. Thank you. Josh.

Ok, for the future if you want to test compatibility use PCPartPicker.com, I've went and done it myself there is no issues with these parts in regards to compatibility, but this build will cost you approximately $800, you could get a much better build for $150 more check it here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KwCH29

Everything will work.

For the above poster PCPartPicker just does basic checks like if it fits it works and in no way is a true list of what will work. That is also a bad build, 2 coolers, single stick of slow memory.

I put everything in PCPARTPICKER and completed the system to give you something to look at. Added 2nd HD for space for games and PSU.

You don't need a CPU cooler as the CPU comes with one.
