Need help for ram

[Toffe123]

So i bought my desktop with 4gb ram only. i need to upgrade now but i see that the ram used in my pc was sold as a pair and i checked on ebay for just a single stick of the ram but i found none. 

 

this is the ram thats in my pc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R-Vengeance-8GB-2-x-4GB-DDR3-1600-Mhz-CL9-XMP-Perfo-/121913405526?hash=item1c629af056:g:XYkAAOSwmmxW2N1l

 

i am wondering if i can use a different but similar stick of ram which i found, here it is.  https://www.cclonline.com/product/54888/CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9B/Desktop-Memory/Corsair-Vengeance-Performance-Memory-Module-4GB-1x4GB-DDR3-1600MHz/RAM0264/

Check with the manual to make sure the RAM you're thinking of is compatible; chances are it will be, but it's still worth a look. On the surface it looks fine to me. Mixing RAM isn't so bad nowadays as it was a few years ago. Today's systems are pretty smart and will just downclock if you happen to mix and match speeds.
