Simple, I am wondering if it would work. I think it will, but I'm not sure. I need a quick answer, because it is on sale right now, and I need to get ram soon.

Hi thefestiveninja :)

There is a MB QVL at Gigabyte support. Download the Memory support list from here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z270XP-SLI-rev-10#support-doc

Choose your RAM kit from this list as they have been tested in conjunction with your MB.

It also depends on the CPU and the i5-7600K officially supports DDR4-2133/2400MHz.
Anything above the official rated frequency is considered as OC RAM and will require some Bios changes to Primary Timings and Voltage with no guarantee they will work.

Sorry for asking, but I was wondering though if you could check? I did and I couldn't find anything on the ram. If you can thanks.
 
The kit of Geil you listed are not listed on the QVL and the only ones I can find that have been tested are GeIL EVO POTENZA Part No: 16GBGPR416GB3000C15ADC which are more expensive and are OC RAM at 3000MHz. If you feel you have a requirement for editing large files or for rendering in the future and want faster RAM then these I recommend. You will however have to manually enter Primary Timings and Voltage in Bios for them to work at their rated speed.

If you don't want to chase the higher clock speeds of OC RAM and just need a 16GB kit to suit your CPU then I recommend:
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8) Part No: CMK16GX4M2A2400C16
G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) Part No: F4-2400C15D-16GRR

So, I got the 2133mhz version of the ram, so it should work at the rated speed?
