I found this ram - https://www.newegg.com/patriot-16gb-240-pin-ddr3-sdram/p/N82E16820220694

 

I have a dell vostro 470 and I know that dell PCs don’t typically like third party ram so I just wanted to make sure this will work. I used the memory compatibility tester but I just wanted to be sure it would work.

Looks like the Dell Vostro 470 support DDR3-1600, while the RAM you're looking at is DDR3-1866. This should still be fine though as it will downclock the memory from 1866 to 1600.
