Yup prices are low, why not, nice to have if you don't need it.

Soon all game will need more rams.

I can't find exactly the same stick. But I ve found one that is 8gb, the same frequency, Cas latency and voltage. Is it safe to get it? Only the company differs

Check all 4 timings (tRCD, tRP, iRAS). 90% of the time you should be okay.
