Yes as long as corresponding sticks are in the same channel meaning that you first have your original then a new one then your other original then your other new one.

Hi, I've currently got 2 4GB sticks in my system, but need to upgrade.

I've got my hands on two 8GB sticks and want to use them alongside what I currently have installed. 
Would having 24GB of RAM be okay?

 

It's an Intel i7 4770k
MSI Gaming 3 Z97 motherboard.

 

Thanks
