I believe it is fine since both are DDR3 1600Mhz, but wait for another one's reply to confirm that. BTW why not get Hynix?
Hynix is little expensive and not popularly available here. Since I saw many reviews as corsair is better I'm planning to go for it. Indeed whats your review over Hynix? Should I choose the same?

Furthermore run the ram in "dual channel" for better speed!;)
How to do that? Any idea ?

Well i'm plan to upgrade my pc by adding another 4 GB of ram. I have a pre-installed ram of 4GB Hynix manufacturer. So which ram manufacturer would be better with this?

I have read the previous replies, and saw that you already have a Hynix 4GB of RAM, why don't you go for another stick of 4GB by Hynix?
What is the speed of your current RAM?

I'd recommend 16GB RAM. But coming from India, I know it's not an easy choice. I'd recommend about 8GB RAM if you are tight on money. I think you should go with Hynix if you like it.

First question arise for me for ur post is, Does my PC supports 16 GB of ram. If so how to find out?
I believe i have two ram slots and during the purchase of this PC i was fore seen that its only upgradable upto 8 GB. So how true is that?

Yep, it is.
It's the best if you can find the same memory stick, you already have.
But if not, go for Kingston, it's cheaper and the quality is about the same compared to GSkill, it doesn't matter, most of them has been manufactured by Samsung anyway ;)

Yep manufactured by Samsung. :)
Modules for RAM memory are manufactured by the same companies over the years, like Samsung, Micron, Powerchip and Hynix.
Like graphic Cards... It's manufactured by AMD or Nvidia, but rebranded (add cooling vents, increase pipes and cover) by many (MSI, EVGA, Gigabyte, XFX...)
Just take the cheapest one from any good manufacturer like Kingston, Corsair, Crucial, A-Data, Patriot, Mushkin, Geil, GSkill...
Sorry for my language, but memory-sticks
it's all the same sh*t.

Adata is available in a cheaper rate than Kingston. So have i made a wise choice in selecting Kingston RAM ?

I didn't understand...o_O
You mean, already used RAM, secondhand...
If you mean that, I never do that, always buy a new stuff.

No one can guarantee you that 2 sticks from different manufacturers will work. There is always a possibility that they will not work, but the chances are smaller.
Both sticks have the same latency, the same memory and the same frequency. They should work together.
