Memory upgrade

Hi all
I currently have an i5 6600k and 8gb Corsair ram.
I am needing to upgrade my ram from 8 to 16Gb.
Would it be better to get another 2 sticks of the same ram and run 4 x 4gb sticks, or upgrade and get 2 x 8gb sticks?

Cheers

That's up to you. You could sell your current 2x 4GB then get 2x8GB this means you have scope for upgrading to 32GB in the future.

Just curious if it would be better to run 2 stick rather than 4.

Got my eye on the Corsair vengeance the pro 16Gb kit, is there any advantage at all going for 32gb or will 16Gb be plenty for years to come?

Usually is easier to overclock or simply more stable using 2 instead of 4. But using 4 most of the time is fine.
