So i ordered this PC:

http://www.hsn.com/products/acer-quad-core-4gb-ram-500g...

Because i planned to uprade it some, to be a gaming PC. Now since it only comes with 4GB, i wanted to add as much as i could. And the good part about it, is it's 1x4GB stick! So i have 3 free RAM slots. But since i obviously don't have the same EXACT ram as that one stick (and the RAM i want to add is 2GB a stick!) will i be able to add the other sticks? It's all DDR3 of course! All 1600GHZ, just different number of GB.

Thanks,

you should always use pairs of 2x4 gb of ram mixing ram is a bad idea there is a 50-50 chance that they will work.

its not that expensive a 4 gb is around 40 $ so 2x4 gb is a bit cheaper than a single 4 gb.
