Question: I have this kit

"G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM"

will this work if I add in this kit?

G.Skill 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz Ripjaws Series (9-9-9-24) Dual Channel kit (F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL)

OR should I just get a new 16gb kit and does anyone have an suggestions, dont wanna spend more than 60 to 70 tops.
