Building a gaming pc for my younger brother and got everything else figured out but the memory, I am stuck between two options.

The processor is
Skylake i3-6100 /w 212 EVO
and the mobo is
Asus H110M-A, mATX

so the mobo has 2 ram slots so would it be wiser to get 1x8 or 2x4?

The RAM options are

Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) Vengeance LPX, DDR4 2133MHz, CL13, 1.35V
or
Kingston 8GB(1x8GB) HyperX Savage DDR4 2133 MHz, CL13

Both are priced at 68 euros and right now I feel like I am just going to flip a coin, any opinions appreciated greatly.

Edit: The question is as simple as dual channel or upgradeability?

For now in games 8gb of memory is enough, either of those will do fine and as both are priced similarly i'd advise the single 8gb, as only 2 ram slots and he can add up another ram to increase it overall,if anyhow gaming demands more than 8GBs in future.

No guarantees when adding DRAM always best to get all in a single package, even if you were to get an identical stick down the road. Also keep in mind there are already games calling for 16GB, and woill be seeing more and more calling for 16GB

Not so for the next 2-3 years. They might ask for 16gb on paper,on actual it needs nothing more than 8GB. Weather it is SW Battlefront, dyling light ,minecraft or any other.
