Those are all compatible, yes.

Thank you for replying. Just one more thing, how do I know weather if my memory is compatible with my motherboard?

From the motherboard specs:

"4 x DIMM, max. 8GB, DDR2 1066* / 800 / 667 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory
Dual channel memory architecture
* The Chipset offically supports 800 / 667 memory; for the 1066MHz memory support, please check the Memory QVL"

You've selected DDR2 800 - so they're compatible.

Always a tiny chance the board will not like a particular set/brand of RAM, but chances are slim. You should be good to go.
