most brand for RAM shld be compatible with intel m/b.....so no nid worry too much

nvme : if ur m/b support gen4 nvme, go for the gen 4 type....speed is 7500MB/s

honestly gen3 nvme is more than enough, plus u stand to save a lot compared to high end gen4 drives.

True.

For SSD, buying a reliable model is more important than just looking at speed alone.

Going gen 4 is when users have a surplus budget.

For the mobo, check whether your ram is on its qvl list. Those on the qvl are those that have been test to work at stock specs on the mobo. Of course, those not on the list could work too but it would be a gamble.
