I currently have 8gb of RAM and was looking to add in another 8gb to make it 16gb total.

I have a P67A-G43 Motherboard w/ 2500k Sandy Bridge CPU

The only problem is the two sticks that I currently have have been discontinued.
Here is what I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220466

I was wondering if I could buy these and install them on my other two slots.

The only concern I have is that the new one's are at DDR3 1600. Also voltage is different.
Would that not work? or would it be bottle-necked by the ones I currently have?

If so, what other recommendation would you make?
I like good quality RAM and would rather not go for a cheap one just to save a few bucks.

Ok so I currently have 1333 and don't really intend on buying 4 sticks and throwing these away.. I would rather add 8gb more.

What about these,

They are 1333, Patriot just like the one's I have right now, but the voltage is still different, would this work?

EDIT

Just saw this posted after I posted above, so the new one's that I linked above are Patriot and 1333 but the voltage is a bit off and it's not the same exact one, what about that? Would I need to set the voltage lower and that's it?

EDIT2, I just realized it says the new one's I linked are discontinued, but my local frys has it in stock,
