It looks like XPG D50. Honestly brands don't matter when adding RAM, only the speeds. I understand wanting to match though.

Install CPU-Z and go to the memory tab. You'll get a model number for you ram. Do a Google and you should find the right Ram and speed. Careful though, even though it might be the same speed and latency, it might not play well with your current Ram.

^This. Just because you buy the exact model sticks, does not mean all four will work. Especially at their rated XMP speeds.

I wouldn't touch your RAM unless you are experiencing a RAM bottleneck...which is typically in content creation. In other words, if it aint broke don't fix it.

It looks like this;

Luckily, it looks like you'll only get this specific 3600MHz kit @ CL18 so speeds/latency should match. That said, ADATA could have easily switched OEM several times so who knows whether you're getting SK Hynix, Micron, or Samsung. Sometimes mixing doesn't always go well, but matching capacity, speeds, and latency will usually minimise risk of any issues. Worst case, some minor manual tuning of memory speeds should be enough to get them all working together.

Honestly, you should be fine to just plug and play these days as long as you don't mismatch too much of the specs.

That said, it's worth noting that the 32GB kit is about the same price as another 16GB kit will cost you, so you might just be better off buying a new 32GB kit if you're in need of more RAM. At least that entirely removes any risk of RAM not working nicely together.
