But, is it any usefull?

What do you mean?
It is compatible with the motherboard you chose or it would not be on that list.
But it is a bad choice.
Take the saved money and put it toward a SSD hard drive or a bigger monitor or a new power supply or ???
I have no idea what other components you need.
You originally stated you wanted to stay in a budget of about 300 pounds.
If you are willing to waste money on RAM, then you apparently don't really have a budget after all.
You ought to slow down and decide exactly what NEW components you need and then budget for all those components, rather than just quickly grabbing at stuff piecemeal. Then research those components.
It isn't something you can do in an hour.
You made need a new case, a new power supply, etc. I don't even know if that motherboard is a decent choice.
Now, i'm actually so confused cause, im not sure if i should really get the intel i3 or the intel i5....i keep to my budget....and if you make me an overall specifications then it will be good for me
I've got the OCZ 600W MODXSTREAM PRO POWER SUPPLY, which is more than enough for me right now.
Nobody can make you any specifications because no one knows what components you really need, no one knows your budget, no one knows how you use the PC, no one knows your source of parts, and on and on.
If you are in a panic to do something quick, you should buy a pre-assembled PC rather than build your own. You have to come to grips with that first. Otherwise, you will waste money, buy incompatible parts, assemble stuff wrong, etc.
Slow down or buy a pre-built machine.
I was about to say the same thing. Go with a prebuilt machine. Dell is pretty good about giving you some customizing options. Although, some people prefer HP desktops.
Where can i buy em?
