in the pic it says 10600, my memory is 10700, i read it from cpuz, will this work?

i have

mobo- gigabyte 970a ds3p

processor - amd phenom ii x4 955 be (never overclocked)

gpu - sapphire hd 7770 vapor x

hdd - western digital 320gb x 1 and seagate 160gb x 1

my budget for ram is only gskill ripjaws 4gb (2gbx2) 1333, will 2 sticks of 2gb gskill work with a single 4gb from micron tech?

Solution
Can try, no guarantees, if you do try and have problems, give me a shout, 1333 can more often than not be adjusted to work fine w/ minor voltage o timing adjustments

As much as i would advise not buying second hand ram or PSU's, yes, you can oc the memory to the same speed to just let it downclock to the same speed.
