I already have Hyperx RAM 8GB from my old PC which I want to transfer to my new one

Will it work on this motherboard?

If the HyperX sticks you already have are DDR3 they won't work, that mobo support DDR4 only.

If you look at one of the RAM modules, there should be a sticker on it with the specific model number of the RAM. As ema21del9 has stated, those are DDR3 modules, and your mobo only supports DDR4. So they will not work.
