Can I put in a 8 gig stick of RAM and a 4 gig, will that work? Also what is a good reliable company to buy RAM from?

I believe it will work but make sure the they will both run at the same speeds, same voltage and at the same timing Latency's. Optimally both sticks should be the same but it will work.

it's not the most optimal way of adding RAM, but it will work none the less. G.skill is good, corsair is good, and a few others are too, but if you're just getting budget RAM, any old RAM with the right speed will do.

look at matching the speed of the new stick with the old stick (measured in Mhz) timings don't really matter as much - they're for performance

if this is a gaming computer youy do know games only consume 5-6 gb of ram.
