Is it ok to add 2 more sticks of DDR3 to my existing setup but from a different brand?

I have 2 sticks of Kinston HyperX DDR3 now. Would it be ok to add 2 more sticks of Corsair DDR3 or would that cause instability?

My rig can be seen in my signature.

Thanks! :)

Yes, but make sure they are the same voltage, speed, and timings to avoid compatibility issues.
Yet i strongly recommend you don't do it, just buy a new set or get a match for the ones you have
