I was planning on getting new RAM altogether and replacing the old ram, however I had a thought. Would it be possible to mix the current DDR4 8GB RAM sticks in my PC with 2 more 8GB Ram sticks and come out with 24GB?

What's the likelihood of success? If it fails can I simply remove the old ones and install the new RAM sticks without any problems?
 
Solution
check your motherboard manual to see what combinations of RAM are supported.

It's highly unlikely you can use 3 sticks. The options are usually 1, 2 or 4
