HyperX Fury 8GB (1 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory Black Model HX426C16FB2/8

if i combine them will i get something like this HyperX Fury 16GB (2 x 8GB) HX426C15FBK2/16

i mean if i have the 8gb stick if i combine them with the same kit will i get a good combination or should i order a full kit together because i have order them 1 + 1 they come one by one seperatly not in a kit together because i dont have here a full kit and thank you

Possibly.

Modules sold separately are not guaranteed to work together and, while the chances are pretty good that it'll just "work", your only guaranteed way to ensure compatibility is to purchase a 'kit' (sold together) that appears on the QVL for the motherboard.

If I were you though, I'd be pretty optimistic about the chances of adding a second (matching) module and it just working.

Ryzen benefits heavily from dual-channel, so a second module is a great option.
Ryzen will also benefit from faster memory too though, so once you add the second module, I'd try to OC the memory to ~3000MHz.

If you opt to replace the 1x8GB module with a 2x8GB kit, I'd recommend opting for a ~3000MHz kit from the outset -- again, might want to consult...
