Hey guys

Time has come for me to upgrade a few components of my PC since they're getting on a bit, and the games I run these days are starting to prove a bit too much for my little desktop

I'm currently using two of these:

And I was looking to upgrade to these:

http://www.ebuyer.com/509513-corsair-8gb-ddr3-1600mhz-vengeance-kit-intel-haswell-cmy8gx3m2a1600c9b

However I'm not 100% sure if it is compatible with my motherboard, which is:

Any help would be loved

Thanks

The ram is supported by your motherboard but its may or may not work with the existing ram when you mix ram the result is always unsure of them working together perfectly plus if it works then the 1600mhz sticks will be lowered down to match the 1333mhz though.

So the best is to use the new sticks of ram with 1600 mhz and sell your old ram sticks.

I wasn't planning on the mixing the two, I was going to discard the ones I'm using now in place of the 1600mhz, but good to have someone confirm they're supported, thanks!
