You don't choose the RAM (or any other part) in isolation.
It's all part of a system.

So, what is the budget for this system?

We would need to know your CPU and Motherboard before being able to provide helpful suggestions.

I know that it depends on the on the processor and the motherboard, but I want recommendations of all. Whatever is best. $1500

I have a sort of off-topic question... What is the difference between the SSD and the internal hard drive? People go crazy over a 250gb samsung that is $100 when you can get a barracuda for $40. I probably sound like such a newb... Thanks

Do you know if that his reliable or not?

 

[Luminary]

Yes, those are very reliable RAM modules.

They have great user reviews and are made by a reputable Memory Manufacturer, not some knock-off brand.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes Gskill is very reliable and SSD's are super fast.

I use them for my OS and a few favorite programs.

[Antidisestablishmentarianism]

Yes, those are very reliable RAM modules.

Thank you. Do you know if I can buy separate packages of RAM and combine them? And do I need a specific motherboard compatible with 32gb or 64gb?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Buy all in the same pack for best compatibility and look for 32gb DDR3 1600 support in the boards specs.

Also, you need to take the OS into account.
Win 7 Home can only talk to 16GB.
Win 7 Pro, and Win 8.1 (Home or Pro) and Win 10 can use much more.
