My specs:
Intel i5-2320 3.0 GHz CPU
8GB DDR3 Transcend JM1333KLN-4G RAM (4GB x 2)
Intel DH67BL Motherboard
NVidia GTX 760 MSI twin frozr IV Gaming OC edition
Corsair Neutron GTX 120GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD
Windows 8 Pro 64Bit
PSU: seasonic s12II 620

I'm gonna add another 8GB of RAM. Should I buy another pair of 4GB modules (same model)?

Or should I buy a single 8GB module?

Any difference in compatibility or performance?
Can I mix brands too?
My motherboard & CPU support up to 32GB. So I would be happy to buy a single module so that I could add more RAM in the future.
I don't want to throw away my 4GB modules unless it is necessary.

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
ideally you'd want to go with something as close if not the same as what you have. make sure timings match up, that's the most important part.

Just curious, why do you feel the need for 16GB of RAM?

Gaming & a little bit of heavy multitasking, virtual machines & some video editing.
Chrome alone consumes around 3GB of RAM when I have a lot of Tabs open at the same time.
My idle RAM usage is just 1GB.

I got another pair of 4GB RAM. (Same model)
They work fine in dual channel mode.
Thanks to both of you.
