Mix'n'matchin RAM

Looking to purchase a single stick of Corsair Dominator Platinum 8GB DDR3 2133mhz 1.65v 9-11-11-31, and add it to the system listed below.

The clocks, timings and voltage are all the same- but I'll be introducing a 3rd stick into 2 stick dual channel setup (not sure if that introduces draw-backs?) and also mixing memory sizes (2x4gb + 1x8gb, not sure of compatibility issues with these sort of setups).

If anyone could give me a little advice it would be super appreciated! Cheers.

 

System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

System Model: Z87-HD3

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670 CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz

Memory: Corsair dominator platinum 2133mhz 1.65v 9-11-11-31 2x4gb 8192MB RAM

Video card: Nvidia geforce GTX770 2048mbs

i'd put the single 8gb stick in one channel and the 2x4 gb sticks in the other channel so you have 8gb per channel
