My current desktop:
Win8.1 x64
H81 Haswell Micro-ATX
i5 4440 3.1Ghz
GTX 760 2GB - Nvidia Reference Card
8GB RAM (1x8GB)
120GB PNY XLR8 SSD
2TB HDD
1TB HDD
500w PSU
I've done a lot of research and most people say it "works" but isn't recommended.
I have an Micro-ATX mobo with 2 RAM slots. It already has 1x8GB stick which is:
A-DATA DDR3 1600MHz LONG DIMM 8GB 240PIN (This is the model ASUS gave me)
I was thinking of getting this:

Would these two sticks work together ok? I can't find the RAM timing on the original.
They are both ADATA 1600MHz. I really want to have 16GB of RAM but would hate to pay the price for two new 8GB sticks. What would be the bad effects of having these two different types of RAM? Thanks for the help everyone!
