Both are DDR3 and 1600 MHz and both are in 2 x 4GB sets

In my computer:
Kingston HyperX blu - 8GB 1600MHz PC3-12800

The ones i got for my birthday:
Kingston HyperX FURY Red 8GB - PC3-12800 - DIMM

Motherboard (if this is important): Z87-GD65 GAMING (MSI)

Now I was wondering Whether these two sets can be used together.

Yes they will work together but if one kit is faster or has a lower latency than the other than it will force the faster one to run at the speeds of the slower (For example a 1600 MHz Kit + 1333 MHz Kit, they will all run at 1333 MHz). Other than that no reason they shouldn't work especially since they are from the same manufacturer. Just for reference i have a mate running 2x4GB Kingston 1333 MHz kit with 2x4GB Corsair 1600 MHz kit and it works just fine but as i said all his RAM runs at 1333 MHz which generally isn't worth loosing the capacity over just for slightly faster frequencies. Hope this helps :)
