Is my RAM compatible with my Z87 motherboard?

Hi, I recently bought a new motherboard (MSI Z87-G41) and was wondering if my RAM (Kingston HyperX Red KHX16C9B1R/4) is compatible with the motherboard. It doesn't say it on MSI's site but it shows similar models.

Motherboard: http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z87-G41-PC-Mate.html#support-mem
Memory: http://www.kingstonmemorycards.co.uk/kingston-4gb-hyperx-blu-red-dimm-ram-memory-module-khx16c9b1r-4

Since it's not listed, does it mean my RAM won't work or will it not perform as well, but still work? I was really hoping I didn't need to buy more RAM.

This will work just fine. Your RAM is DDR3 1600, which is well within what your motherboard can support.
Don't worry if it is not listed.

Thank you so much, that is exactly what I was hoping to hear!
