This will be the first time I build a PC, I think I got all the parts I need but I don't know if they are all compatible with each other.
Case (Rosewill Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case CHALLENGER-U3 Black)
Motherboard (MSI Intel Z97 LGA 1150 DDR3 USB 3.1 Mini ITX Motherboard (Z97I AC))
Ram (Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) CL16 DR x8 Unbuffered DIMM 288-Pin Memory BLS8G4D240FSA)
SSD (Samsung 850 PRO 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW))
Monitor (ViewSonic VA2246M-LED 22-Inch LED-Lit LCD Monitor, Full HD 1080p, DVI/VGA, Speakers, VESA)

Hi,

to be able to get memory's that are compatible with your motherboard, I suggest using a memory configurator from any of the major memory vendors like Kingston, Crucial, Corsair, G-Skill etc.

For your mobo MSI Intel Z97 Mini ITX Motherboard (Z97I AC)
Now, and this is important: You should only use 1,5V memory, nothing else. Higher voltage will stress the processor and shorten its life span and Intel says 1,5V +/- 5%

And You should use a dual memory-kit since the motherboard support two memory channels.

I found the following among compatible memory sticks (1,5V) from Corsair:
Corsair Guaranteed-Compatible Memory for your MSI Z97I AC

CML8GX3M2A1866C9R DDR3-1866 (Vengeance LP-9-10-9-27*1.5v) Dual Channel
Or
CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R DDR3-1866 (Vengeance-9-9-9-24*1.5v) Dual Channel

Or this is a perfect match, cost a little bit less and are just as good:
CML8GX3M2A1600C9 DDR3-1600 MHz (Vengeance LP-9-9-9-24*1.5v) Dual Channel 2x4GB
Those are Low profile memory's (I have similar myself) which means their height is only 26.25mm and it will fit under any CPU cooler.

When you search the price lists, Newegg etc. so use the ManufactoryPartNumber (MPN) to the far left.
