G.Skill Ares F3-1600C9D-16GAR compatibility

[zoli58]

Hello,
I'm going to build a new system and I'd prefer the RAM above. But I can't find this in the QVL list of mobo-s (there are only RipJaws kits but these are for me too high), and I can't find these mobo-s in the QVL list of the F3-1600C9D-16GAR either. The possible mobo-s are:
Gigabyte GA-H77 D3H
Gigabyte GA-Z77 D3H
MSI H87-G43 Gaming
I wonder whether they are compatibel. Please help me!
Another question: what is the meaning of the RAM-codes?
Are these RAM-s for example identical or not? F3-1600C9D-16GAR — F3-1600C9D-16GXM
And the last question: how does this RAM work with a XEON 1245v2 together?
Many thanks in advance!

First thing, the QVL list are jokes ; see here:

Basically if going Z77 the Ares are good

On the model #s, can take a look here:

Yes the Xeon can work with the sticks
