You realize, of course, that fancy heat spreaders and led lighting are purely cosmetic and have no useful function?

Virtually all ram comes with a lifetime guarantee, so Quality should not be an issue.

Your first task is to determine how much ram you need.
Unless you have a specific need, a 2 x 8gb kit will probably be best.

Next, think about the speed you need.
It turns out that ram speed is largely irrelevant, at least in this series of tests:

Higher speed comes with higher latencies, negating the higher speed.
Divide the speed by the latency and you will see what I mean.

My suggestion is to buy corsair lpx 2400 speed which runs at stock 1.2v and has a lower latency than most...

And... with a new Z270 based motherboard, why not consider a I7-7700K instead?
Price should be similar and it will have higher clocks.

Looks count. Particularly for a case where you will be looking at it for a long time.
Buy what you love.
Bur realize that you will be paying more for brands such as vengeance.
Fancy heat spreaders only have a place for those hobbyists that are into maximum ram overclocking.
One negative from tall heat spreaders is that they can impact some air coolers.
Newer coolers like the noctua s variants have been redesigned to clear tall ram.
Noctua NH-U14s for example is as good as it gets for I7-7700K.

hey dude i know this has nothing to do with your anwser but im confused on whether to buy the avexir core series or raiden series i heard the raiden makes noise but im not really sure if its that loud (the only reson i like these 2 is because of the led) xD

First thing is to be certain that your ram will work with the motherboard you pick.
My reading says that the raiden series is DDR3 which will not work on a Z270 motherboard.
Most ram vendors will have a ram selection app.
Enter the make/model of your motherboard and you will get a list of supported ram.

Post a link with parts to your latest build.

Off the top of my head, I think I would use latest gen kaby lake i7-7700k and a Z270 motherboard.
Cost should be the same and performance is a bit better.

Check the particular model of EVGA psu, not all are good:
