i am building a PC and unfortunately the price of Ram is more than expected however i came across this hyper x ram that would suit my needs perfectly. unfortunately i can only afford it if i buy the pack of 1 four times and put it together. i have seen similar posts but they generally only talk about mixing 2 ram sticks i was wondering if it would be okay to put 4 of these ram sticks together.
thanks in advance.

No... It would not.

Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
This is more difficult when 4 sticks are involved.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
It is safer to get what you need in one kit.
But, it is a bit more expensive because of the added matching of all the sticks to insure compatibility.

Buy a 2 x 8gb kit
Here is one for a similar price...
