Greetings

Hey guys i have a little question, currently i have 2x2 gb 1333mhz kingstone memory, im planning on adding 2x4 gb 1600mhz to my build so I'm wondering if all that can work together all along with my fx 8350 without problems
Thanks
 
the RAM should be the same speed and timing.

for best results if you want to use four slots you should get a Kit of 4 since they are tested to work together for max performance.

in general 8GB should be enough for most application including gaming.

I would take our the 2x2GB and only use the 2x4GB
 


Yes, it will. It will all run at DDR3-1333 since that's the speed of the slowest memory in the system and in general all memory in the system is clocked at the same speed. I'd make sure to put one 2 GB and one 4 GB module in each memory channel (most likely, just put the two new sticks in the two empty slots.) There is no problem with using non-similar memory module sizes as long as you put the same amount of memory in each channel.
