Adding another (3 X 2G) Corsair Dominator DDR 3 1600

What is the best way to introduce the new 3 sticks of RAM, add one stick at a time and run Memtest86 or add all 3 and cross my fingers ?

Another...as in a second set.

I'd pull the first three, put in the new three, memtest, then add all six, and memtest again.

yes a second set.
ahh, never thought of that thanks for the suggestion. Plan to fill all six slots for a total of
12GB

Should I update the bios on the MOBO also haven't done that in a while?

perhaps, read the release notes, the updates may offer increased memory compatibility and optimization. Also, it may help you get a higher OC

got my new sticks of ram and they passed memtest86+ without any issues but my
Delta 120 x 38mm Ultra High-Speed Fan push pull configuration on my TRUE120 is blocking my first slot so I haven't been able to run all six sticks yet until I figure out what to do.

Any suggestions on what size/depth fan I should replace the front fan with (assumming 25mm is my only choice) or should I just go without for now? I am not currently overclocking
