Hey there;  I'm using a motherboard which has 4 RAM slots . At the beginning thought to use a single 8GB DDR4 ram stick in this build , by the way , when I watched some PC build video they are saying to use 2 x 4GB RAM

stick insted of 1. So even if I use 2 x 4GB RAM

could i add 2 x 8GB RAM in the future up grade

yes, if you have different speed ram (2333 mhz and 3000 mhz for example) it will run at the lower speed, but it should work fine otherwise.
