Hey so first of all let me tell that im upgrading my secondary pc ram from 8gb to 16gb as games are started to use a lil more of 8gb ram soo the thing is i have this ram : https://www.amazon.in/Corsair-Vengeance-DDR3-Memory-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10/dp/B005T63BJM/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1527149682&sr=1-4&keywords=8gb+ram+ddr3

and the the thing is i got a deal in hyperx ram which is less costlier than corsair.. : https://www.amazon.in/HyperX-1866MHz-Desktop-Memory-HX318C10F/dp/B00J8E91UO/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1527149654&sr=1-1&keywords=8gb+ram

soo my question is should i get the hyperx ram as it is 200mhz faster than my corsair or just go with corsair i can sell my current ram probably but it will still add up extra cost as we have to sell used ram for a cheap price... soo is it worth the extra money to buy 2hyperx and sell my corsair and add more 30$ or should i buy 1 more corsair stick.. if i buy 2 hyperx it will cost me more about 30$ is it worth the money and will 200mhz make any difference ?? i play at 1080p and my current ram runs at 1600mhz and hyperx will run at 1800mhz or so.
 
Solution
1600 vs 1866 ram Might not be supported by your board and will run in 1600 mode. CHECK BEFORE you decide.
second thing. 1866 ram will be ~5% faster in most tasks than 1600 one. Might not be worth it to sell old one for such small gain.
Third thing you can mix and match with similar chance for success. In general people will say "buy a pair" for 100% it will work. But if you can get 8GB hyperx try it and return if its not working.
