3) May i insert a (same brand:Kingston ddr3) 4gb + 8gb ram to that motherboard(limited to 2 slots)?

It may work, it may not. Memory is best when bought in sets. Even the exact same model may not work out if it came from a different package, but you will have a better chance of it working by getting the same brand/model that you already have.

What will happened if i mix use two of those (4gb+8gb)? will they mess up anything? why we must use (4gb+4gb) or (8gb+8gb) ram ?
 
1) Even an identical memory model may have compatibility issues (yep, they sometimes slightly change the timings). The manufacturers themselves will tell you so.

In reality probably not an issue.

2) Don't mix sizes either or you won't have Dual Channel mode which may reduce CPU performance (depending on CPU speed, memory speed, and task done).

3) *I recommend a 2x8GB kit since this is for gaming.

4) Check the motherboard manual, and make sure the proper slots are used. That MAY be the 2nd and 4th slot but I can't be sure. (if only two slots just use both)

Thx for replying, btw im aint familiar with hardwares so im not certain of what are you referring to..
Is 4 of you points are all about RAM with motherboard OR some are graphics card with motherboards compatibility
I just need to make sure everything before install my card and ram...
 
Which motherboard is it? Can´t open the link you provided in here.

4) if just two slots are there, just plug the two RAMs into them. If you would have more than two, like four of them, you would have to look at the manual to be sure to plug in the two sticks in the right two slots
