The CPU aside, voltage has been discussed here:

I personally would want all matched RAM. IMHO 16GB isn't really necessary unless you're really spanking your machine doing lots of video compression or have dozens of active web pages open at the same time. For games, 16GB vs 8GB and even probably VS 4GB won't make a noticeable difference. The again, RAM is not really expensive compared to a CPU, decent ATX board or decent GFX card......
