I just found Asus' approved memory list and the ram that I Was considering was not on the list. Does anyone know if I would have any problems buying off the list?

This is the ram:

Try the other way around - is the motherboard on the ram's compatible mobo list?

Or just ask the ram maker

obviously I cant tell you from experience, but its DDR3 and 1.5v there's absolutely no reason it shouldn't work with that motherboard. maybe its because its a new board the list needs some updating/refining.

That RAM you are looking at is good and should work. I would get a CL9 kit, though. Yours is CL10.

What CPU? The CPU matters too.

Any of the 37 ram listed for the mobo should be good to go

It is a newegg bundle which is why the CL 10 instead of 9,

i74770k is the processor.

Don't know the exact speed but:

Column Address Strobe (CAS) latency, or CL, is the delay time between the moment a memory controller tells the memory module to access a particular memory column on a RAM module, and the moment the data from the given array location is available on the module's output pins. In general, the lower the CAS latency, the better.
