    I currently have this stick of 4GB RAM in my PC: https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=609119

    (GeIL 4GB Single DDR3 Dragon C9 1333MHz)

    I would like to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, can I use any 4GB C9 1333MHz stick of RAM or do I need to get another GeIL Dragon?

    The same ram is preferable but anything with the same voltage, frequency and timings will work.

    just run cpuidz- memory tab and see if all the clocks are the same should be something like 9-9-9-9-24 1.5.

    also see if mobo supports dual channel and set them into appropriate slots depending on mobo it could be color coded or same color then check manual.

    in general all low end ddr3 1333 are usually the same unless opting for OC brand.
