I'm going to buy this laptop tomorrow
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Lenovo+-+IdeaPad+15.6%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+6GB+Memory+-+750GB+Hard+Drive+-+Dawn+Gray/6963365.p?id=1218817529792&skuId=6963365#tab=overview

It has 6GB DDR3 RAM, I want to upgrade the RAM to 8GB will this 2GB 1.3GHz DDR3 work?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Corsair+-+2GB+1.3GHz+DDR3+SoDIMM+Laptop+Memory/2663998.p?id=1218343212212&skuId=2663998#tab=specifications

Just want know if it'll work because I plan on buying them both at once.

Thank you in advance!

The laptop only has 2 SODIMM slots so they are putting a 4GB and a 2GB. To upgrade to 8GB, you are going to have to take out the 2GB and buy a 4GB SODIMM. I would, personally, just spend the extra $15 or so to buy 8GB (2x4) of the same brand just to be safe. But a 4GB will work but make sure that it is DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600). Hope this helps.
