Yes it will work fine. See p. 55 of the Manual here for "how to":
My only reservation is that I do not like to mix module sizes. In many cases 2 x 4 = 8 gigs will actually run just as well or better than 4 + 8 = 12 because with 2 x 4 you get "dual channel" operation which allows faster memory read and write operations. And most computer users do not actually use more than 8 gigs of RAM. So my best advice is to find the exact same kind of memory but a 4 gig module. It will also have the benefit obviously of being cheaper.
Happy to review whatever else you think about buying before you pull the trigger.
