Should be fine, i guess your geting 2 x 8 gb sticks so it will run in dual channel mode.

Check THIS THREAD I started a while ago on the subject. Most X58 based systems can run in 'Flex Mode' with 4 sticks of RAM fitted which gives you Triple Channel mode as normal for the first three sticks and the 4th stick runs in a type of single channel mode. Been running mine for years like this with 16Gb Corsair Vengeance. There are images in the above thread describing it and what slots the RAM sticks need to go in.
