I’m looking at a new build for gaming/plex server 

and I am look at what ram I should get there are to kits that I have my eyes on right now don’t know what is better 2x16 g-skill trident z 3200mhz or 4x8 g-skill trident z. I like the idea of having all 4 dims full but I don’t know if that will come at a cost I don’t think I will ever upgrade to 64gb. Maybe on a new build with ddr5 when it comes out

Similar statements have been made in the past about ram in lower capacities.

 

Unless you can utilize quad channel or it'd be more expensive, go with the 2 sticks. Fewer sticks can mean fewer problems and it's better to have the option to add more ram later on than to not. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
