Questions about the GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK

Hi, Im looking at getting this motherboard

GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK (rev. 1.0) LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128723)
But upon looking at the manufacturers website found that my ssd (Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A/240G 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820721108) Is not under the supported SSD list. I also noticed that my ram (G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-16GXH )(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231571) Is not "supported"
Any help?

It is not on the supported list as these devices were not used during their testing phase. They can't test every product that is out there.
The SSD and ram should still be compatible .

I'd avoid Gigabyte Gigabyte products AT ALL COSTS! If it breaks after 30 days, you'll still need to pay to get it fixed/replaced. Doesn't matter how long the warranty period is. I had a motherboard that failed on me. After a few emails and an hour-long call to their customer center with their operations manager, Gary Tam, warranty manager, Maggie Lin, and service manager, Chuck Liu, they basically told me that they're not responsible for the defective product. If I don't want to pay the extra fee, they're not going to fix it. They also said that since they're a manufacturer, not a retailer, and it doesn't matter if the customer's not happy with their service and product.

Well what mobo would you recommend?

Not true about warranty. I had a bad one that didn't get around to building for over a month (till all parts arrived) and they replaced it right away, even gave shipping label for return. Guess things change over time and megalizardfish had bad experience.
My black edition GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK is running strong years later and an earlier "durable" board with an i5 2500k is what? 6 years old and doing great. That's on the Oregon coast in my shop wear salt air destroys everything.
