2X8 should be plenty in terms of temp storage space and gives you a boost due to dual channel. Are the speeds similar between the 16GB stick vs the 8GB sticks? It shouldn't matter as much with Intel, but AMD Ryzen craves faster RAM.

Great remark, seeing as the old cards are ddr3 it might be the way to go in the end

Looks like we all assumed it was the same gen of RAM.

If that 16GB stick is DDR4 then ya, those 8GB DDR3 sticks won't slot into the mobo that the 16GB stick came out of. Best bet in that case is to get another 16GB stick. Preferably identical to the 16GB stick you already have.
