Well, it's not exactly a selfie, but I'm the one on the right. :)

Since we're all posting terrible pictures of ourselves (no offence y'all), here's one of me from high school.

christophercolumbusdog reacted to Quaker in Mixing Different Memory Kits?
Notice the similarity in these part numbers. They use virtually identical RAM chips. So they should work very well together.
Even if they weren't identical, most motherboards and BIOSes can handle RAMs with some differences. They usually just end up running at the slowest spec. For example, if you were to have some DDR3-1333s and add some DDR3-1600s, all the RAM would end up running at DDR3-1333 speed.
If all the RAM is DDR3-1600, but they differ only in CAS timing, etc, then the RAM will run at the slowest timings. (As long as the variance is not too great, or the slower timings are compatible with the faster RAM.)

plug both kits in, but look for the dual channel slots on your mainboard. It could run whitout problems, but it also cannot run and you will see a bluescreen or the system isn't stable. Try it out, you can't destroy anything.

No. It's going to affect overclocking your RAM. Less sticks=overclocking RAM made easier. Your CPU OCing ability should not be affected.
