It will probably be fine, but in general you should try to buy memory running at the standard 1.5 volts. That kit also looks pretty damn unimpressive. I've got a cheap kit of DDR3-1333 that runs at 1600 with lower voltage and tighter timings. Cost me $45 last year.

I'd recommend picking a better memory kit. Find something with tighter timings and standard voltage.
