What do you mean by "will this memory work?" of course it will. The max frequency it can get to using XMP tho would be dependant on your Motherboard which in your case the MSI Extreme X99 can support up to 3400 MHz according to the MSI Website meaning your 3000 MHz will run fine if you enable the XMP Profile for it in the BIOS. As far as i know, faster RAM helps with some rendering suites and other workstation tasks so you can grab a fast 3000 MHz kit if you feel like it. Hope this helps :)
