Hello! Your setup looks solid so far—PSU, hard drive, case, CPU, graphics card, and DDR3 RAM are all in place. The motherboard you’re considering is the Asus H81M-C, which supports DDR3 SDRAM. However, your current RAM sticks are DDR3, not DDR3 SDRAM, so compatibility depends on the specific model of the H81M-C. If you need confirmation, check the manufacturer’s specifications for that exact board. Also, keep in mind the budget constraint and the light gaming use case—this should work fine as long as the RAM sticks match the required type.

DDR3 refers to SDRAM, while RAM is simply a shortened term for SDRAM. It's similar to how DRAM is used in some SSDs as a cache.

DDR 3 and DDR 3 SDRAM refer to the same technology. Previously known as SD-DDR3, it's now commonly referred to simply as DDR3. Be careful with ECC memory, particularly buffered or registered modules—they won't function properly in your setup.
