PC - RAM ?

Am building a new desktop 'Fractal Define C' box - but have no clue which RAM (16gb = 2-8gb) and am looking at G. Skill Jigsaw and Kingston ... can anyone comment on these two or a better RAM for this set-up

Intel Core i7-7700, ASUS Strixs z270E, Dual SSD 500g Samsung Evo, GTX 1060,

I know, looks like a gaming setup, but it's not - it's pushing two monitors (Ben Q SW2700PT and ASUS PA 248Q ... for developing high-end photo and art files for large/scale prints ... so, limited video, if that matters...

Sales folks says Crucial is best -- but, it's a salesman, selling me what he has in stock - so I'd like an RV.net tech opinion instead :)
Thx ... M44 :)

    Have used G. Skill Ripjaw in my gaming PC's before. Also have had good luck with Crucial and Patriot. Not so much with Kingston.

    Make sure to get the RAM modules recommended for your MotherBoard. It's not just RAM type and speed. You need to get the correct clock timing(s) supported by your Bios? Not doing so could result in BSOD, and system instability.
