Dont mix different RAM modules, it will cause incompatibility issues and even degrade performance. Its always preferable to use the exact same model, even if its from the same manufacturer. Also it will effect overclocking and can cause instability.

can i get a 4gb stick with the same speed
 


Get yourself the same 8GB team dark 1600 mhz memory module. Download and run CPU-z and check out the RAM model number and purchase that exact module.

As a note, buying the same model RAM is definitely the best way to go, as it should ensure frequencies, latency, speeds etc are balanced. Just bare in mind when buying them. there's no GUARANTEE that it will work. As RAM vendors change the method of their manufacture or small aspects of their methods over time, which is why RAM modules of the same set are always recommended, it's why they sell 'Sets' of ram.

It's not a huge cause for concern as newer chipsets are much more flexible, so don't get me wrong. But it's worth noting.

Agreed with Sohom that you should upgrade to another 8GB Team Dark, not the 4GB module.
