DDR3 Memory Compatibility question?

So I have an old computer that I am upgrading to be a Minecraft server, and if you didn't know they need a lot of memory.

 

The computer I am upgrading is an old prebuilt with the following specs:

 

CPU: Pentium G630 (REPLACING with Core I5 2500)

Mobo: chipset: H61 socket: LGA 1155

Memory: 8gb 2x4 DDR3 1333Mhz (REPLACING with 16gb 2x8)

SSD: 500gb sata 2.5in

PSU: 220w (according to newegg)

PCIE WIFI card

 

If you look on Newegg it says it only comes with 4gb of ram but the one I have was upgraded to 8gb a long time ago. 

 

Now I am interested in buying the following ram and I just want to make Shure it is compatible: https://www.newegg.com/p/0RN-00A3-000K8

I'm pretty Shure it is compatible but I want to here from someone else before buying.

 

If you want more background here are some other threads I made about this:

Technically it's compatible 

It's ddr3 and that's it 

Sandy bridge has a good imc for what it is and it should handle it

Should I worry about how it is non-EEC

@TofuHaroto

I mean it's a server running a sandy bridge i5 so not really unless this will be a server used for heavy workloads or will host a big Minecraft server or something

Yeah the server has a max of maybe 10 people online at peak hours so I guess it wont be a problem.
 

Thanks for the help.
