I have recently built up a new rig with:
CPU: ASUS FX 8350
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 LE R 2.0
GPU: NVIDIA GTX520 silent, 2GB DDR 3
RAM: CORSAIR VENGENCE DDR 3 1X8 GB (1600MHz)
SMPS: CORSAIR VS 550
OS: WIN 7 PRO,32BIT

I have already got the RAM as above Mentined. So I want to add 8 GB now and after few weeks 2 more 8GB will bring 32GB Max supported RAM for my Rig. Can you please advice if this was a good choice?
Best Regards to great guys here. Please dont compare MY AMD RIG WITH INTEL.Request a geniune Response.

What are you using your PC for? If it's just gaming you don't need anymore than 8GB.

Go with 2 four GB sticks. Later U can add 2 more four GB sticks. You wont need more than 16. I can't even max out 8GB.

Mixing DRAM can be and often is problematic, I'd suggest getting the full amount you want/need in a single package, if you have to mix packages, and have a problem, give me a shout, can possibly make timing/voltage adjustments to get them to play, no guarantee, but I have a pretty good success rate ;)

+1 for Dorky1, take his advice and get 2x4gb instead to run in dual channel mode (faster) and make it easier to add more later on.

Thanks for your inputs, As I have already a 8GB corsair Vengeance stick, I wanted to just take a 8GB same stil so another as per description and suggested in menu book, I will have 2 blue color RAM Slot filled making it for 16GB,Though its not possible to use till there. But, once for all, I have invested and need not worry or even look for future price of RAM ups and down.
Will IT(adding 8GB RAM does not have any bit Benifit anyways while processing data/Games etc)
