More about : ram compatiabilty
Looking through your mobo QVL, I found only ram with 8 or 9 latencies. The ram you're looking at may have to have the timings loosened in order to work properly but it should work. Also, it may work with the mobo's overclock feature to get those timings. This is the kit from the QVL

A few dollars cheaper, and two cycles slower - I'd get the ram you were looking at.

Best solution
For simple "drop and play" compatibility, the cheaper, slower kit would be the way to go. If you are not real comfortable in your BIOS, tackling ram issues may not be the best way to learn.
If you are not worried about getting into your BIOS and changing settings (some of which can be catastrophic, if not fatal), starting on page 20 of your mobo manual, it goes into the BIOS and how to set your ram timings.
