I'm putting together my first PC build, and I've got most of my components sorted. However, I'm struggling with RAM options. The recommended RAM is the KingBank DDR5 RGB (24GBx2, 48GB total, 8400MHz UDIMM), but it comes from AliExpress, which I'm not comfortable with. I'm looking for alternatives that offer similar performance without the risk I associate with AliExpress. Just to note, I don't plan on overclocking, and I think 8400 MHz might be more than I really need. My setup includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, and an ASRock Z890 LiveMixer motherboard. Additionally, I'm aiming for smooth gaming in 1440p UWQHD, especially for GTA6. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Definitely avoid RAM from AliExpress if you're concerned about quality. Look into brands like Corsair or G.Skill; their DDR5 options are reliable and perform well for gaming. You could consider the Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 5600MHz. It’s faster than what you mentioned but still solid for your needs without going overboard on speed.
Yeah, those brands are trusted. Just make sure the RAM timing works well with your motherboard!
