No. That is an SODIMM laptop memory module. You need a DDR4 DIMM desktop memory module, and you don't want a single module anyhow. If you are shooting for 8GB, then you want 2 x4GB modules. If you want 16GB, then you want 2 x8GB modules.

You are not going to find DDR4 memory in ANY quantity adding up to 8GB for a desktop motherboard at that price. Nor anywhere near it. This is the least expensive. Memory prices are at an ALL time historical high right now, and are not expected to come back down for at least the next year.

But this will give you dual channel operation which doubles the effective bandwidth, increasing performance significantly.

Or if you can only afford a 4GB module for now, then this will work.

OK thanks i thought it was since it said dimm in the discription

Just a quick question how can i tell if the ram is the right one for my motherboard. I just started making a pc so i dont know what to look out for.

What country are you in?

Any memory that it compatible with your motherboard should be specified as DDR4 DIMMs, not SODIMMs. SODIMMs are for laptops and are much smaller. DIMMs are for standard ATX, micro-ATX, mini-ITX and EATX motherboards. ECC DIMMs are for workstations or servers that require Error Correction Checking memory and must be supported by both the CPU and motherboard. That is irrelevant for your needs though.

You want DDR4 2133mhz up to 3200 mhz (OC) modules. If you do not plan to overclock the CPU I would suggest not going any higher than 2667mhz modules.

They need to be DDR4 288-pin dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs)

I get it now thanks for putting up with me.

Yeah, it's no problem at all. Good luck man.
