Hi folks

First time posting here. I'm interested in upgrading the RAM on my home-built system. I'm running a Kaby Lake i7-7700K on an ASUStek Maximus IX Hero MB along with a GTX 1080.

I currently have 2xGSkill F4-3200C16 8G DDR4, totaling 16G.

I'm tempted to upgrade to 2x16G to go to 32G.

Q: Can I run all 4 bars together to total 48G, or should I simply remove the old ones and go for 32G?

Q: Depending on what was answered above, should I purchase the same 2x8G instead to run 4 identical bars?

Q: What should be my preference in terms of RAM speed for my MB? I've never had any issues with 3200MHz.

Thank you in advance,
