Should I use 16gb and 8gb ram sticks together?

They should work together under ideal circumstances,
Please reference your Motherboard's manual to ensure (or post your system specs here) as some are more fussy than others.
If you have two identical sticks of ram but one is 8gb and one is 16gb, it will theoretically work, but please do keep in mind that this could cause errors (your slowest speed module will bottleneck any faster ones).
If you want a guaranteed (mostly!) smooth experience, your best bet is a kit, as these are guaranteed to work with one another and match in all the ways they should/need to.

My system specs are
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME H310M-E
GPU: Asus 1060 3GB
CPU: intel i3-8100
Section 1-8 will give you more information, I highly recommend you familiarize yourself with this manual.
