1050 Ti, 120GB kingston SSD, no HDD for now although I have a quick-load 500gb Seagate Barracuda ready for install
i5 1700k I think (if it's not that one it's the best i5) so it gives me a really smooth platform to upgrade on
16gbs of ram, two 8gb cards in DDR3 because I have another 16gbs of spare DDR3 laying around
got it for only £450 on black friday

Used to have 8, but got 16 gigs and forgot that I had 4 ram slots on my motherboard

Take the old one out, expect better performance if your older ram is slower than your newer ones. Your newer ram doesn't do anything as your PC is focussed on the speeds of the older ram or even slower. Your memory will count up to 24 GB but honestly, you don't need it and your PC could run into issues. 16 GB's is still enough and you get better performance, make sure they are in dual channel on your motherboard.

My PC has been running just fine since I did it - so there's nothing to really sorry about. Upgrading actually solved an annoying stutter problem that followed me in every game I played, so that was cool.

Ah good to hear, but try benchmarking your FPS with dual sticks, I reckon you'll get better performance if your into that, but it's your PC. Although if you have to upgrade your ram in the future again, it's really recommended to stick with dual sticks with same speeds and size by then, every PC expert (Not me) will recommend such unless I'm wrong.

Edit: Quad channels is recommended aswell if they are similair 4 RAM sticks.

Not a typo of 16gb? Otherwise, remove ram down to 2 or up to 4 similair sticks to have a proper ram compability.

If you use different ram sticks yes but is no good
