So I was thinking about upgrading my laptop's memory to 16GB, and I've narrowed it down to three sticks. All are within $2 of each other, so I have to go by brand here. All are 8GB 1600MHz sticks:
-Patriot
-G.Skill
-Kingston

Alternatively, is it worth the extra $15 to get the exact same stick, made by Corsair?

Thanks

Honestly speaking when it comes to "THE BEST" there is no answer. However, Corsair rams are for high performance and have longer life due to the selection of components within them. I'm using corsair dominator platinum. Earlier I was using corsair vengeance pro and before that vengeance. I've also used Kingston.

Believe me it is worth the every single penny you spent on it,

Its not like you gain $15 worth of performance for the Corsair, but if you want peice of mind I guess, go for it. IMO, not worth it strictly price/performance wise. Better to just overclock the GSkill and then replace once stability issues occur in ~3-4 years.

Alrighty then, thanks. Should I also upgrade the 8GB generic stick that the system came with (1600MHz DDR3 8GB), or is it better to save my money for a different upgrade, i.e. Case mods, SSD, CPU are some I have planned

If you are planning to upgrade further, it is advisable to save money. But then again for that update which RAM you are gonna use? :)

I think the Corsair sounds good, these assurances of quality make it seem best. When the laptop dies in several years (fingers crossed it lasts), I will just take it apart. I have a box in my wardrobe with everything from laptop Pentium IIIs to outdated desktop GPUs. There's nothing salvageable, though, they all use outdated protocols like DDR2.
