Need some advise

Hello I currently only have 4GB (2x2GB) of RAM and need to upgrade to 8 really. Would I be better buying a 2x4GB kit or another 2x2GB kit and keep my old RAM. My current RAM is Crucial Ballistix 1600Mhz CL8 (currently at 1333 cl7) hear is some CPU-Z info

max bandwidth: PC3-10700H (667Mhz)
part number: BL25664BN1608. 16FF
serial number: A001AA74

Could anyone recommend a 4GB kit that would work well with this and still be in dual channel and everything?
 
Id say just get the same kit again, it doesn't really matter as long as the kit will run at the same speeds and there wont be any compatibility issues as long as you run a stick from each kit as 1|2|1|2 in the ram slots where black is 1 and orange is 2:

would something like this be OK its the same as mine apart from mine is 1.65v and this is 1.5v, however, i run my ram at 1.5 now because its at 1333 instead of rated 1600

Thank you, I will keep my eyes out for a 1.65v kit on ebay for a few days and if nothing shows up ill go for this :D.

P.S. I did buy this kit from Amazon a couple of months ago, but one of the sticks heat-spreader was glued on in a way that made it impossible to plug into the mobo! So I returned them and didn't bother with a replacement as I was worried they were a crappy batch or something and didn't fully know if they would work with my old RAM.
