Will my RAM be compatible

[Deleted member 219079]

My motherboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77 Extreme3/
My processor: Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) Specifications
My current 2x4GB RAM: www.kingston.com/datasheets/khx1600c9d3k2_8gx.pdf
The new ones: http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-low-profile-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cml8gx3m2a1600c9

I'm concerned about the voltage difference; current ones have 1.65v and the new ones would have 1.5v.

The voltage difference doesn't matter. RAM is universally compatible as it gets its power directly from the mainboard slot and doesn't need a power supply.

Try looking on your motherboards compatibility list, you can find it on the MB's booklet or maybe you could grab one from the manufacturer's website as pdf. Also, Try checking if they are of the same type (DDR2, DDR3).

So I guess it will be fine

It will work. It's also a waste of money, but that's your problem.

When I run VS, Warcraft, LoL client, Skype, Photoshop and Chrome, one of the apps crashes.

I don't want 16GB, but I don't want to be restricted as to what I can have open. I believe RAM consumption by software will only increase as time goes by, so what am I really waiting for here? It's imminent that I get 16GB in future.
