Is it worth it to spend another $100 to upgrade from a G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL Ripjaws 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 240PIN DIMM Memory to Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory, CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10?

I'm building a gaming rig and have a budget of about $1600

Solution
if u run 2 sticks you'll be running memory in dual channel which will be a great increase in performance than running a single stick in single channel.

I'd get 4x4g if it were me.
