So my situation is this, I've got 4GB(2x2) and plannig to add another 2x2GB soon
The ones i've got are Hynix HMT325U6CFR8C-H9, basically 2x2GB, 1333MHz, CL9 and planning to add(most likely) Corsair CMV4GX3M2A1333C9 (also 2x2GB, 1333, CL9). I can't get another Hynix, since they're from some DELL office PC I got for a good price(I've also got my cpu from it).

The question is, are there going to be any problems with it? Also how is it going to be with dual channel?

MB: GIGABYTE H67MA-USB3-B3
CPU: i5-2400

Get the 2 x 4.

DDR3 comes in kits because it generally needs to be paired. It can cause issues down the line if you mix RAM. You can do it, but it's not best practice. It's probably close in price to get 8 GB at this point in time.

I tried to avoid buying a whole new kit :/ (I'm a student, not making any money, living with my parents you see >.>) Cheapest 8GB I can get in my country is Kingston HyperX Fury, either 2x 4 or 1x 8 at rougly $80-85. Are those any good?
