ok i got the
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9 atm and i want 8 more but should i buy the same or a new pair ?
ive heard that some kits dont work as well as the standert ones
 
Solution
Ok I mistook that you got a single 8GB stick. Well in that case, you'll have to get the exact same pair as you currently have for maximum chances of compatiblity.
It's pretty much like this.

Provided you get the exact same stick of 8GB as you currently have, there are more chance than not that it'll work.

If you get a new pair of 2 X 8GB sticks, it'll be garuanteed to work with each other.

So if you have the funds for two 8GB sticks, go for it, there's no garuantee that the new 8GB, even if the exact same model, will run with the old one.
