It does handle 1600 chips and in 4 gigs each slot if you wanted. As for those chips they arent on the supported list but most ram i use isnt on the list yet has never given me a problem. Myself id use them if that is what you can get cheap there it is DDR3 and you board has DDR3 of about 27 diggerent kinds so should be a safe bet.
