Yes, it is compatible, but it will only be running the new RAM at 1333mhz.

If you buy buy 1600Mhz memory it will work at 1333Mhz on the motherboard. If the motherboard says the limit is 1333Mhz, then it usually really is that limit and you can't push it higher.

RAM has Typically been backwards compatible. With an OEM motherboard I cannot say for sure but it should work just fine but at a lower speed of 1333.

I would use the Crucial Scanner to find memory when it comes to Pre-builts.

If the motherboard does in fact support only up to 1333Mhz, yes, 1600Mhz will work at 1333Mhz speed.
