Just buy a second stick of what you already have; The RAM you mentioned might have some problems since: 1. Their speeds are different 2. Their voltages are different.
It's always better to run two identical sticks of RAM to avoid possible incompatibility issues.

Per Gigabyte's specs 1333 is the highest RAM that the motherboard will support. Since you already have a 4 GB module, buy another 4 GB module (Kingston) with the same timings and specs. and it will work well without any issues.

Does this match what you have?
One way to check is to download and run "SPECCY" - http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download (free program)
and/or "Belarc Advisor" - http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html (free)
These free programs will disclose a lot of info about your computer.

And keep in mind, regardless of what has been said above that everything will be fine, that ANY time you mix DRAM from different packages there is no guarantee they will play together, even two packages of the same exact model....That's why DRAM is offered in such a variety of sets, the sticks are tested to work together, if mixing DRAM was as simple as many would have you believe, all the manufacturers would do is sell single sticks and make even more money. That's also why the larger sets I.e. 4 sticks normally cost more than 2 sets of 2 of the same exact sticks, it's much harder to match up four stick that all play together than it is to find 2 that will play nice

That's not your exact RAM but the specs sure match yours. As I said: Same voltage, same speed and same latency, otherwise it will not work.

If you plan to try and mix sets, get them as close to the same as possible, especiall freq, timing and voltages, then if you do have a problem with them give me a shout, help people that do this on a daily basis
