Hello,

I just recently ordered new components from newegg to build my new computer. As I was reading some reviews to pass the time, I noticed that someone spoke of checking the AsRock site for memory compatibility. If the memory is not on the list will it not have a chance of working?

What you have should work great. What their talking genreal (not always but 99% of the time) about when it comes to combatiblity for ram what your worried about is DDR, DDR2, DDR3, etc and single channel, dual channel, quad channel and htz IE 1333, 1600, etc and lastly ECC or non-ECC.
Mobo is Dual channel, DDR3, that supports the 1600hz speed and is non-ecc
RAM is Dual channel, DDR3, 1600hz, Non-ecc - you should be good to go
