Can anyone point me in the right direction please of a 2X4GB kit that will work with this memory (taken from my OCUK order page)

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K28GX)

Check the MM/ask in the wanted section. I wouldn't really want to mix ram. As a last resort, you could sell it and buy a 2x8GB kit. Obviously you'd lose a few quid which you might not want to do.

Same CAS latency and speed, but you may need to play with the voltages on your mobo.

I am not a RAM afi at all, so check with others first too! The recommendation everywhere is to just buy the exact same stuff. I'd do that if at all possible.

I'd actually just buy two new 8GB sticks to save on potential headaches.

Keep an eye out on 2x8GB kits, there's some deals starting to appear so you might find something rather suitable.
It's generally possible to drive 2 bigger sticks "harder" than 4 smaller ones (tighter timings/more speed).
