for future reference this is where pcpartpicker is useful.
go there look up the items and add to system, it will say if there are any issue. it catches most of them.

you MAY need to upgrade the BIOS for them to work. doublecheck the BIOS version is the right version before purchase or chose a board that is 9th gen ready like the b365 chipset. the B360 can work with an update which will reqire another CPU to do.
look to a 365 board for the least issues

example only

yes any B365 board would work.
I meant the example for pcpartpicker and the compatibility check.
that is the first b365 board I came across, narrow your search to B365 boards and shop around for what you need.
the Bazooka has more RAM slots and is physically a larger board.
