That memory is fine. 1600mhz is suitable for gaming. memory speeds aren't so weighty these days with DDR3 in regards to performance, unlike DDR where you could see serious gains from an overclock.

Your default fsb speeds are 1066MHz so anything above will be useless. I've tried the same on 1600 and 1866MHz didn't notice any significant speed increase.
