RAM question.

I've got two DDR3 1033mhz 4gb sticks.

I've bought two DDR 1333mhz 8gb sticks

The motherboard can take 4 sticks (1333mhz max).

Is it better to have all four sticks in, or just the two 8gb ones?

unless something's changed then it was always the case that mismatched RAM would end up all operating at the lower speed.
So you can have 16GB @ 1333MHz
or 24GB @ 1033MHz

so depends what you're being limited by atm

Turns out the existing ram is 1333 not 1033, so i guess that makes things better?
