Yes, that should work just fine. :) I've ran 2x4GB + 1x8GB DDR3 for years without issues and other even weirder DDR2 configurations as well. :)

So basically i want to upgrade my pc (by that i mean my dad) with a 8gb ram.

The question is will my pc work fine after i put the 8gb module with 3x2gb modules.

What speed is the 8gb stick? If its the same speed you have a Chance that it'll work. But getting the same sticks is always a good idea. 

If anything you could get rid of the 3x2 and just have the 8gb. It'll be faster than 6 gig i guess.

Yes you can, unless the motherboard has a limitation on how many modules / max capacity you can use.
