Normally, yes. But try to get them to be as closely matched as possible as to timing, voltage, etc. Some boards play nice with mixed ram, some not so well.

Just remember, they make matched sets of ram for a reason.
i already have 8gb and i dont want to buy a whole set for 16gb when i could just get another 8gb. trying to save money

You might luck out and it work. If so, you are ahead of the game.
Just don't be surprised if it DOESN'T work.

Check the timing and voltage of the RAM you have now. Getting the same manufacturer in the RAM will help guarantee success too. What stick do you have now?

Remember that you don't save any money by buying ram that won't work. That turns out to be the most expensive kind!
