Im looking to buy a pre-built of with Ryzen 5 2400g without a gpu and the base option is with one 3000 MHz ram stick .Saw online that 2 sticks some say would be a better option and would your option on this.2x4gb 2400mhz are at the same price of 1x8gb MHz. Performance wise which would be better in such case ?

Would be much appreciated your opinions on this.
Thank you

Going with the 2x4 GB kit assures that they'll work in dual channel.
That means that their bandwidth doubles, because they can be accessed at the same time.
Though if you're using the integrated APU that higher frequency may benefit you.
Going with the 1x8 GB may ensure a better path to upgrade, but keep in mind compatibility issues can occur even though you're buying another simillar module(that's why they are bought in kits).
I'd personally go with the 2x4 kit and Overclock it to 2666 MHz, it should perform better than the 1x8.
