This is my setup:

1. Asus Sabertooth x58 (Mobo)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131665

2. Corsair 6gb (Ram I have currently installed)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145224

3. G.Skill Ripjaws 16gb (Ram I want to add)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231528

Is it possible to add the 16gb ripjaws with my current 6gb corsair running at the same time or do I have to remove my 6gb and just use my 16gb? Is there a way to use them simultaneously to make my system recognize 22gb? If not, what are your recommendations?

Well the motherboard supports triple channel RAM configuration. If you put 5 ram sticks then probably you will have a triple and a dual channel working at the same time, a thing which may cause performance decreases during certain applications and problems within the memory controller. I don't say that it won't work, but the best thing to do is go for a proper triple channel configuration.

Go for these I believe it's your best choice.
