i have a issue with my ram. I want to upgrade it so now im using 4gb 1600 Mhz ddr3 and i want to put 2 more so i want to know is it gonna work or not and why ?

Depends on your motherboard - if you have the two extra slots you can put two more DIMMs in. Preferably you're going to want two of each type of ram so you can run in dual channel mode.

Primary Build: i7-4790 · 16GB Hynix DDR3-1600 · Sapphire Tri-X R9 390x · NZXT S340 · Win10 Pro · Seagate Barracuda 1TB T_T

Portable: 2015 Retina Macbook Pro 13" · i5-5257u · 512GB PCIe SSD · Intel Iris 6100 T_T

Do you know what brand or model # is on the stick of ram currently in the system? You have to match the speed and CAS timings as well as type (DDR3 obivously). Getting the same RAM can save you a headache. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/
