Buy more RAM or replace?

[Ninjaolsson]

I currently have a 16GB kit with two 8GB sticks. I am running out of overhead and need to upgrade. 32GB should be more than sufficient for the foreseeable future. But should I just buy another 16GB kit that is identically specked to my current one? Or should I replace what I have with a 32GB kit (four 8GB sticks)? My current rig is only 5 months old and all of the components were purchased new to build it. 

 

The only benefit that I can see to buying a 32GB kit is that I could get faster ram and possibly LED ram. My current kit is 2800MHz so I'd only be upgrading to around 3000-3200.

 

Money isn't really an issue for me as far as buying a 16GB kit verses a 32GB kit.

 

What are your thoughts? What would you do in my situation and why?

Just buy another pair of 2x8GB of 2800MHz ram, or even faster if it is close enough to that price (+/- $5 or so possibly)

 

Save $ , it works.
