With DDR3 and later it's a crapshoot - they may work well together, they may not.
Before DDR3 everything seemed to be compatible. There's a reason why DDR3 is sold in kits of 2 (and 4, and 3) that have been tested together. Some people have found that they need to relax the timings and / or raise voltage to get two unrelated sticks to run together.

Didn't know that.
Okay another thing.
Buying Kingston ram better then Hynix ram whichever is pulled from imported pc brought here as fresh/refurbished.
Or it's wouldn't matter if I just get Hynix or Kingston.
As these pulled ram are little cheaper then kingston

I don't quite understand the question, but the answer is that you are more likely to have issues with using two sticks that were acquired separately. If you have one stick, some people have had problems even when buying another of the exact same make and model, so the safest path is to throw out the pulled memory and buy a two-stick kit.
If you want to take the risk and the need to fiddle with it, put whatever you have available in together and see if the machine will pass memtest.

I'm afraid I don't understand the question, then.
Do you mean "I pulled a stick of Hynix memory out of this system. Should I buy a stick of Hynix to add to it or a stick of Kingston?" Or what.

I don't have ram right now.
Buying a used or refurbished one.
Used is the kingston ddr3 4gb 1600mhz single stick. From a user.
Or refurbished from pulled pc Hynix or Samsung which are come with branded pc in lot and they separate rams and processor and sell separate too. From a shop who buy from importer

Ahh, you want to know which one of those two to buy, is that the question? Right now you don't have any, and you are going to buy one stick of refurbished memory? If the first is a single stick and the second two sticks, buy the second. Running matching memory in both channels on your motherboard will give you better performance.
If both are single-stick, I have no idea. Just make sure that the specs, including voltage, match the board that you are going to put them in!
