I'm going to buy new RAM, i want some Corsair Vengeance 2400MHz.
But i'm usure if i should buy 4x4gb or 2x8gb.
What would performe best?
I'm thinking about the 2x8, so it's always possible to upgrade.
But will it even be nessesary for me to upgrade?
I play games like (World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Hearthstone, and Battlefield)

Yes 2X8GB will be better. Besides upgradibility, it'd put less load on the memory controller vs 4. And anyways 4 sticks will work in two dual-channel config. Moreover, memory will be slightly better performance wise as controller would've to collect data only from 2 sticks rather than 4. 2X8GB is the way to go :)
