What memory brand should i buy?

Hello everyone.

I need some advice.

I have a Dell G7 15 7588 with 8GB of RAM. As I use it to FEM analysis, I want to expand the amount of RAM to the maximum (32GB). Looking at PC Part Picker the following memories are available.

  • Crucial CT2K16G4SFD8266 32 GB - $127.95
  • Team T-Force Vulcan 32 GB - $131.99
  • Corsair Vengeance Performance 32 GB - $145.99
  • Kingston HyperX Impact 32 GB - $163.98

I know that the difference in price is not absurd, less than $40. However, I'm from Brazil, so my purchase would cost me 4x more. For this reason, I'm seeking your advice to known what brand is more reliable and would be a more efficient purchase since I'm not an experienced pc builder/shopper.

Thanks in advance for your help. 

 

Ps: I did not buy my laptop with more memory as Dell in Brazil was charging $185 (R$700) more for the model with 16GB.

It doesn't really matter who you buy the RAM from only like 3 companies actually make the chips that go on it.

 

Team probably has the worst warranty though given that it's a more random Chinese company.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

But what about the speed? if it's the same speed with one another. then buy the cheaper ones. honestly RAM isnt that sensitive and every same almost the same things.

team got quite big the last years through... they're not a random chinese brand anymore

 

I'd pick the crucial, because it's the most generic micron you'll find

Thank you all for the advice. I'm more inclined to buy corsair since I'm more aware of their products (I guess the advertising in the LTT channel really works) or Crucial since is the cheapest.
