So i'm looking to upgrade my ram finally from 8 to 16. But i cant find 2 more sticks of the one i have sense it's like 10 year's old now.

SO i'm buying 2x8gig sticks of DDR3 ram.

This is my Mobo

This is the ram I'm looking to buy.
https://www.newegg.com/corsair-16gb-240-pin-ddr3-sdram/p/N82E16820233246?cm_sp=SearchSuccess-_-INFOCARD-_-Corsair+Dominator+ddr3-_-20-233-246-_-1&Description=Corsair+Dominator+ddr3

Are these two compatible?

Also here is a screenshot of my old ram is it better than the one im looking to purchase?

2133 > 1600...
Extra 10 frames for cheaper.

idk, possibly.
Just get 2133mhz, ideally 9CAS if you can find if not settle with 10/11 CAS timing.
