Do you have any spare motherboard RAM slots? If so, how many? If you have enough then yes, you can get another 8gb kit, if not then no you cannot.

Yeah it's possible:

1. 4 x DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory

   * Due to a Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than the size of the physical memory installed.

2. Dual channel memory architecture

You can have a maximum of 32GB of RAM in that motherboard, spread across 4 RAM slots.
