First question is whether this:
Kingston HyperX 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104244
is compatible with:
ASRock H61M/U3S3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157236&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3067296&SID=
The pin-sizes are right but the motherboard's standard doesn't include 1600. I don't actually know what "standard" refers to.
Secondly, is it worth buying 2 sticks of this RAM for a total of 8GB of memory? Or will one suffice? The only downside I can think of for having "too much RAM" is excess heat for unnecessary memory but will I notice a difference when gaming?
