Is this memory module compatible with my motherboard?

Motherboard: P8B75-M LX PLUS
RAM: Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz HX316C9SRK2/8

On the specifications page of my motherboard (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8B75M_LX_PLUS/specifications/) I could find what frequencies are compatible, but on the ram's page I found that it's compatible with the following chipsets:
H67, H97, P67, Z68, Z77, Z87, Z97, H61 Intel chipset
A75, A87, A88, A89, A78 and E35 AMD chipset

On the specification page of the motherboard it is clearly stated that it has "Intel® B75" chipset. Is that a problem?

I tried to also look at the qualified vendors list, but i could only find this: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8B75-M_LX_PLUS/P8B75-M_LX_PLUS-memory-QVL.pdf
which has only rams listed with frequency 2133MHz and above (which in the specifications is stated to be only compatible if overclocked, so what's the truth?). If this isn't compatible, then how can I find compatible RAMs to this motherboard (preferably 1600MHz)?

Thanks, (just for future visitors, I would correct the link: http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search/Default.aspx?DeviceType=7&Mfr=ASU&Line=P8%20Motherboard&Model=84414&DisPart=&Description=Kingston_ValueRam_Memory_HyperX_Memory_for_ASUS/ASmobile_P8_Motherboard_P8B75-M_LX_Plus , however I don't think it really matters). Could you also tell me if a Samsung Evo 850 would be compatible with this (I don't know any compatibility conditions for SSDs other than the connector, however on the Kingston site they are listed as well, so just to be sure)?
