Here's the info which I gathered.

CPU : intel i5 6400
Mobo: ASUS MOTHERBOARD H110M-D which Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) and 2133 Mhz Support

The below two rams are not in the QVL of ASUS

Will that support (8Gb x 2) Kit ?

1) G.Skill F4-2133C15D-16GVR (2133)
2) Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2400C16R (2400)

While its best to pick ram that has been certified compatible by the manufacturer. You must keep in mind there are 10's, perhaps 100's of memory modules that the manufacturer doesn't test. Its simply impossible for the manufacturer to test them all, and even if they could new modules come out often and it is cost prohibitive and therefore not economically possible.

Pick a good brand of RAM that you trust and if you have issues with it Return it to the seller in the return period and buy a different brand and/or model.

B150 isn't ideal for a consumer motherboard. H110 is better for the consumer who is low on cash, but you give up a lot of small features and usually a lot of quality. Here is an explanation of the different chipsets...
