hi guys, i'm planning to upgrade my ram from 8gb to 16gb

current specs:
mobo-gigabyte b85m-hd3
cpu-intel core i5-4460 3.2ghz
gpu-zotac gtx 1060 6gb amp edition
ram-kingston hyper x fury 8gb 1833mhz (black)

question is that do i need to buy a new 2x8gb of ram (in pair or set) or will i be okay if continue using my current 8gb and buy another of the same brand and specs (identical). will that have a problem?

also, how to install it? do i just plug it? or do i have to configure something?

thanks for fast reply, but what about installation? do i just shut down my pc, put the ram on my board and turn it on? or do i need to do some configuration?
 


ram is easy, that is exactly what you are gonna do :)
