hi, i want to upgrade my memory, and i want to buy this.

http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-lpx-16gb-4x4gb-ddr4-dram-2133mhz-c13-memory-kit-red-cmk16gx4m4a2133c13r#

but my mobo's is msi B150 gaming m3 dd4 2133Mhz dual channel.
and that memory its say optimized for intel x99 chipset.
The frequency is 2133 which is supported by my mobo.

will that memory work if i plug it?
thank you.

Yes, you should be fine, you are looking at a four stick set is all, however on a dual channel mobo, you'd be better off with 2x8GB which is less stress on the MC (memory controller and could offer a smidge more in the way of overall performance
