This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

is good to mix 1x4gb ram with 1x2gb ram?

 

There's something very important I forgot to tell you! Don't mix RAM… It would be bad… Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

—Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) on mixing RAM

hahahaha i have 2x2 gb kingston + 2x2gb corsair in my pc (ddr2) and i havent had any problems so far. but your situation may differ because we have different mobos. just be careful not to use the same channel for two different dimms

If you have the option to avoid it, do. It adds another thing that can go wrong, but provided you pay attention to DRAM voltage, frequency, and timings it should usually be fine. And as mentioned above, make sure you're paying attention to your matching pairs for dual-channel purposes.
