Hi there, welcome! Your setup sounds solid for a build. The A68HM-P33 supports up to 32GB RAM, so adding more is definitely possible. Since you're using an AMD A8-7600 APU, the extra memory should help with performance, especially if you're running resource-heavy apps or games. Removing the existing 4GB stick and installing an 8GB 1600MHz RAM should work fine, as long as the motherboard has the necessary slots and compatibility. Just make sure to check your motherboard manual for exact requirements and ensure the new RAM is compatible with your system. Good luck with your build!

You gain more space, yet your speed drops because using three sticks forces them to operate in a single channel, halving your available bandwidth.

For your needs, swapping in an 8GB stick would actually hinder performance. The APU relies more on RAM speed than on the amount, so mismatched modules stop you from using dual channels and limiting bandwidth. Instead, focus on upgrading to faster RAM or a more powerful CPU/GPU.
