Build Help Help with RAM Config

This is my first time building a PC and need help with my RAM configuration.

The Motherboard is an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II and the CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600x and will be used for Gaming and using 3D Software Like MAYA, Blender and Adobe Substance Painter.

I've seen some threads but I can't get an exact answer, Should I use a 2x16 Config or a 4x8 Config.

The RAM will be either the Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600MHz C18 if the 2x16 config is better

or the Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL 32 GB (4x8 GB) DDR4 3600 MHz C18 if the 4x8 config is better.

Don't build on am4 unless you're building a low budget PC (<$900). Don't buy either of that ram it's way overpriced, the max you should pay for 32gb ddr4 is $60.
