That board is a bit of an oddity. You can use 2 sticks of DDR2 memory in the yellow slots OR 2 sticks of DDR3 memory in the blue slots. In either case, it will only accept a total of 8GB. You can't use both DDR2 and DDR3 at the same time. See page 17 of your manual.

Yes, you can use either of those pairs of Corsair DDR3 1600MHZ RAM. But only in the blue slots. They won't even fit in the yellow slots. Look close and you'll see the slots' guide pin is in a slightly different position.
