Yeah but that is more expensive for some reason and I want to use all 4 ram spots available

it looks nicer and cost like 10$ less if I would buy 2 kits of 2x4gb, but would my computer run with that.

It make look nicer but there's really no point in doing that. Just spend the extra 10 dollars and run the two sticks of Ram in dual channel. Corsair Vengeance 1600 16GB of RAM is $160.

But would the 2 2x4gb kits work, I'll go with the 2x8 kit tho I'm just wondering

Mixing 2 set's of DRAM (even the same exact model) can be and often is problematic. Also, 2x8GB is less stress on the MC (memory controller) than a 4x4GB set, and 2x8GB runs ever so slightly faster
