I would like to upgrade to 16 GB of RAM and I was wondering if I could use 2 sticks of Kingston and 2 sicks from Corsair (I would run them in dual channel seperately K-C-K-C) ?

Yeah I already own 8GB of RAM but the place i usually buy parts from is out of stock on the kingston stuff so I was wondering if getting more from a different brand would work

It could work, what you need to do, does not matter if same brand or not, is to find a matching pair for latency and voltage, or as close to it as possible.
If the second pair does not match your current pair exactly, you need to enter the settings in BIOS to the lowest common denominator, so slowest latency and highest voltage.
