You haven't given us the model number of the RAM, but the motherboard does support DDR3 2133 RAM. Check the official Asus RAM support page to see if your specific model number is listed as compatible.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL is the memory I purchased. The VQL doesn't have G.skill on the list for 2133 memory though. Just wanted to see if it is compatible and will run flawless off the first boot

The sticks are not listed as supported (I think), but that's because Asus doesn't have the time to test all the sticks that are available, so they should work. You'll probably have to manually adjust the speed, timings, and voltage in the BIOS, since 2133MHz is listed as "OC" in the specs of the board.
EDIT: It will probably work just fine on first boot, but it might be automatically underclocked.

All you should have to do is select a DOCP RAM profile similar to XMP profiles on Intel systems to get the RAM running at its rated specs. It will likely run at slower speeds and looser timings for compatibility reasons out of the box until you select the correct DOCP profile. The motherboard owners manual should tell you how to select the DOCP profile in the AI Tweaker section of the BIOS.
