Sure, you can combine them into one system. Using three identical RAM sticks will provide more memory capacity and potentially better performance. It’s a good idea if you need extra space or want to upgrade your setup.

You have the option to use all available modules, but unless your system requires more than 16GB of RAM you’ll miss out on the dual-channel advantage (unless configured properly). If you really need that amount, go ahead and use it; otherwise, I’d trade the surplus stick for dual-channel only. For gaming purposes, stick strictly to dual-channel. Intel offers a "Flex Mode" to manage RAM placement, but double-check your motherboard manual as well.

You'll receive the advantage of Dual-Channel for 16GB, plus the extra 8GB available in single-channel.

Thank you. I require 24 GB of RAM. Your comments were conflicting—will using three 8 GB sticks eliminate the dual-channel option for all RAM sticks, or can I maintain dual-channel on just two?

You'll retain dual-channel performance for the first 16GB. AMD's CPU functions similarly to Intel's Flex Mode without any extra setup—just install it. Edit: Unless your processor is an older AMD model, I'm unsure if they behave identically.
