I dont see any 'compatibility issues
per se , but unless you got it super cheap I think it may be a bit overkill in that You might not get it to run at the higher speeds. Unless you are sure you can run it at 18 or 2133 speeds, a mid range 1600 kit will perform the same. Speak up, ram badges. .

Max speed supported by FX series Processors is 1866MHz. Check the frequency guide by AMD - http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/ddr3memoryfrequencyguide.aspx. There are chances for the above memory which you have listed to work but I cannot confirm it for sure, it is more likely to give more compatibility issues. So try getting 1866MHz rather than 2133MHz and it is stable, IMO. Even if you get the 2133MHz memory to work, you might have to set the freq manually in your BIOS as it will be running in the default speed either 1333MHz or 1600MHz. Hope everything works out for you. Cheers, mate!!

BTW, what is your motherboard model?

The memory which you have picked is quite good - "Patriot Intel Extreme Master, Limited Ed 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory". If you still need other modules then try the following -

Well, I said go with 1866MHz instead of 2133MHz in my other post, which means 1866MHz is stable and it will work fine but that is not the case with 2133MHz memory.

The memory which I have recommended will work so is the one which you have selected (1866MHz) memory
