ur Mb supports upto 16Gb i.e 4GX4 sticks @1600oc,1333etc since ur currently using 2 sticks of transcend@1333 then it is better to get 2X2Gb or 2X4gb of transend value ram for the max compatibility
Flipkart: Transcend 2 GB DDR3: Ram
if u can post the ss of the memory tab as well as the spd of cpuz then we can confirm

get another pair of 2x2 GB transcend 2 GB DDR3 ram
OR
get g.skill Ripjawx 1600 Mhz CL9 4x2GB (3.2k) if u plan to overclock ur system though i think the transcend 2x2GB should do fine for u buddy i guess 2 GB transcend is for 650 at lamington Rd :p pretty cheap buy

If you want my suggestion get a single 4GB 1333 MHz Corsair DDR3 value ram. The Transcend rams you're having are 1333 MHz CL9 rams and I was having one 2 GB module. I think you know your Ram Slots are like A1, A2, B1 and B2. They can be identified from the color scheme used; A1 and A2 will have same color and B1 and B2 will have same color but diff from A1 and A2's color. For better understanding, check the Motherboard guide book. In your case I guess it is read and black.

Now if you need to run them in dual channel, the basic concept is you need to have Total Memory plugged in at A1 + A2 = Total memory plugged in at B1 + B2.

So plug the two 2GB modules in the two red slots (assuming it is A1 and A2), and plug the single 4GB module in one of black slots.
