Either way is about the same. If you're going to sell the 8gb you have now go with two 8gb sticks even though i doubt you'll ever need 32gb.

When i built my pc about 6 months ago i sort of skimped on the ram knowing it would be an easy upgrade later. I got 2x4gb corsair vengeance pro. http://tinyurl.com/q87xxpo. Any way this Christmas i am thinking to upgrade to 16gb but i cant decide if i should add another 8 or if i should get 2 x 8gb sticks for the ability to upgrade to 32gb later on. Which one do you guys think i should choose. Here is my build btw http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Killswitch49/saved/mMzp99

i5 4670k / Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 / Asus Maximus vi hero lga 1150 mobo / Sapphire tri-x r9 290 OC edition / corsair vengeance pro red 4 x 4 gb 2133mhz cas 9 ram kit / nzxt phantom 530 black / 120gb samsung 840 evo ssd / 240 gb ocz arc 100 ssd / 2x 1tb WD Blue / Cooler Master v850 modular psu / corsair k70 rgb cherry mx Brown / mad catz rat 5 laser mouse / windows 10

Get 16 or 12gbs. im in your shoes and im just gonna get a 2x2gb kit. so then i will have 12gbs. I dont need 16gb by any means and IMO DDR4 should be easliy accessible in about 2 years at the most.
