Yes your motherboard and RAM will work fine together.

Yes proc is an AMD, board supports that and it supports your ddr3 1600 ram.
But out of curiosity why did you buy a cas8 ram for $5 more then it's cas7 counterpart?

Someone recommended it on here

The ram won't fit on motherboard, the sides are too big which means I'm unable to lock it in, why is this????

I've used Ripjaws RAM on that motherboard before. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong.
