Question Should i use 4x4gb or 2x8gb of ram?

[HiBOSS]

Hi, i have a Ryzen 5 1600X in an ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero. The next upgrade for my PC will be RAM - from 8GB to 16GB. I'm wandering if i should buy 4x4GB, which costs 500zł, or 2x8GB, which costs 600zł. 500zł=125$ and 600=150$. I'm looking at DDR4 G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200 MHz CL16

Always TWO DIMMs. The memory controller on that CPU is dual channel. It will run optimally with two DIMMs. Using four DIMMs usually results in lower memory clock.

That makes sense, thanks.
