Replacing ram or adding more

[hdbrohgaming]

Is it better if I buy hyperx 16 gb ram, 2 sticks, 3000mhz and just put it in my pc or if i buy those two sticks and still have my old 8gb ram which will make it 24gb ram but two are hyperx and one is slower and a different manufacturer

Don't mix and match ram's, please. Buy a Kit and use that or buy the same stick of ram you currently have and always try to work in pairs, if you want to run in dual channel mode.

List your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

I was just wonder is it better to mix them or use the whole kit. Thanks for answering.

Always whole kit. Mixing RAM is a gamble, it may or may not not have issues. These issues can range from not even booting, stability problems or not being able to run at rated speed or dual channel.
