So at first I was skeptical on getting 4x4gb of ram because some people said getting 2x8gb would be better because the more sticks of RAM you have in every priority the computer gets confused of which priority slot to take the memory from...All in all my question is...is 2 sticks better for first and second priority? Or 4 sticks for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th priority? Orrr 8 sticks to fill up all of the available slots on my motherboard?

P.s its a x99 deluxe motherboard with a 5820k and gtx 980ti

Depends how much ram you want....if its 16gb or less, I would get it in the fewest sticks as possible leaving room for future expansion
