Is this motherboard compatible with my RAM?

Motherboard: http://www.msi.com/product/motherboard/support/Z97-PC-Mate.html#support-mem
RAM: http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-12800cl9d-8gbxl

As you can see, the RAM's model number isn't in the compatibility list.

Can I still use them or should I go for one that's on the list?

You can use it. As long as it's 240 pin ddr3, it should work.

Thank you so much

In your case yes the RJ Xs will be fine, but the above mentioned about DDR3 isn't always true, not all DDR3 will work with all DDR3 based mobos
