Order your RAM somewhere else. A far better quality DDR3-1600 can be had for much less than this generic kit - as much as $5-7 less given there is no free shipping offer with this RAM.
Be careful about that 880GM-D2H. Ensure with TOP MOST PRIORITY that you get a rev 3.1. If TigerDirect hands you anything other than a rev 3.1, it is a 3+1 power phase and does not have 125W TDP support - your board and processor will be unusable together.

this board. Don't worry if it's MSI, at stock clocks it's perfectly stable....
Run... run away. Run far away. Come back with a huge metal shield and a fire extinguisher.
All seriousness, your board suggestion... MSI is aware of their VRM problems, and places warnings on their failure-prone board pages including this one. MSI rates this board at max 95W TDP, so it won't even function with the 125W TDP 955 and if you try it I think it be a given you come to an explosion if you attempt to place any load on it. Not cool, man.

MSI had trouble in the past, but have improved greatly
Even the latest 970A-G46 is facing VRM failure incidents.
