ASUS Maximus V RAM compatibility

Hi,
I am currently in the process of building a PC and I only found out once my motherboard arrived that the RAM I had bought was not compatible with it. As such I have returned said RAM and instead am thinking of ordering this RAM http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f319200cl10q32gbzhd

It states in the manual that this should be ok and compatible yet when I look at it online it states that it is made for a se2011 processor and a x79 motherboard. As such I was wondering if it would work with and i7 3770k and the Maximus V Extreme. I want to use this RAM as I have a Noctua NH-D14 meaning G.Skill is one of the few manufacturers which will fit with the fan.

On another note I was also wondering if I could place my graphics card in the second PCi slot or if this would cause it to not work as fast. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated,
Hal

Thanks for all the help, I installed the new RAM and the computer worked first time so I guess my previous choice simply was not compatible 😛
