i would say another 8. first, the 8 you have is more than enough for most uses, and 16 is plenty. the only reason for the 8x2 would be a future upgrade to 32gb. unless you're doing some professional level video editing, you likely would never need this.

DRAM speed can be of benefit in Gaming - though it depends on the individual game, some like fast DRAM others just use the DRAM as a data conduit. Faster also is of benefit in multi-taking and memory centric tasks apps like video editing.

Also keep in mind there are no guarantees when 'adding' or mixing sets of DRAM, even if you get the same exact set as what you have, it's a 50/50 crapshoot if the two sets will play nice (also the 2 stick set (Tri's), will be less stress on the MC than would 4 sticks - especially igf they don't want to play and need additional voltage for them to play nice ;)
