Can I buy another set of the same 8GB (4x2) RAM for my motherboard?

Or should I go seek out a 16GB (8x2) RAM instead? If so, what options are there?

Hey there, so I built the parts for my PC around 2013. I have slowly started to upgrade things, and the one thing that's actually hampering me is RAM. I started with one monitor and now I have two and so running several things has become the norm for me. But recently I decided to get into WoW, and well, I can't really do anything else without my Task Manager showing that my memory is hitting the 90% mark causing either WoW or Chrome to crash... so RAM is my next thing to get.

ASRock - Z87 Extreme4 ATX LGA1150 is the Motherboard I use and my current RAM sticks are the G.Skill - Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 . So could I just buy the same ones and increase my memory or are there better ones out there now?

Cheers all!

Ah gotcha, damn thought I'd be able to save some haha. Do you know of any good suggestions? Sadly my Motherboard only does DDR3 so I'm not sure how big of a speed I am meant to be getting.

Intel - Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor - over the weekends I am planning to start dipping my feet into overclocking this but for now it's as it is.
