Using different frequencies (RAM)

Hello there to all of you.

I'll be direct.
I have two modules of memory ram in a 2x4 dual channel configuration (8GB total) and their speeds are 1333MHz and 1600MHz, both from Kingston, DDR3.
I'm wondering if I could put another two modules of the same brand (Both 4GB DDR3) since I have two more slots, but at a frequency of 1866MHz, and, if I could, will that affect performance or something?.
In the other hand I could buy one module (8GB DDR3 1866MHz), again from the same brand. Can I use my actual config. with that module, all together?.

I know this is silly and I made wrong decisions when buying my rams, but actually I can't afford a new kit or something, so those are my options in this moment.

Mobo: Asus M5A78L-M USB3 (I think it supports 32GB max).

Thanks in advance!

PS: Sorry about my english :c
PS2: 1333MHz & 1600MHz rams are no longer available where I live because of new DDR4.

Oh okay! I think I'll just save some cash and buy a new whole 2x8 kit to replace my actual ram. Thank you for your help and time!
