Is Avexir RAM good/reliable?

[DJaeS]

For context, I'm going to get a new computer assembled tomorrow, these are the specs I'm going for:

Intel i5 6500

Avexir D4 2400mhz core 8gb RAM

Kingston 120gb SSD

1TB Hdd

Gtx 750ti (reused)

Silverston 500W PSU

So I'm wondering if Avexir is really any good because I have never heard of it before.

I'm also considering getting 16gb RAM instead, how does that work, two sticks of 8gb or is there a single stick 16gb?

Also any passing comments on my build would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't matter what brands you get. RAM sticks has a standard for fabrication quality control. Has been for many years. That's why every RAM sticks (afaik) says something like 'Lifetime Warranty' on its box.
The only thing you need to look up for is its warranty service.
Personally, I decide my brand for RAM sticks based on how far my house to its retail should sometime in the future I need to RMA.

Lots of people here would recommend single 16GB if you could, but I'd say get 2x8Gb instead. Should one fails, you can still use your PC while the other gets RMA.

No one should ever be recommending single sticks. No matter how fast your RAM speed the fact is you can only "read" or "write" to a single stick at one time. With one stick you require twice as many operations to complete an action.

Dual channel RAM lets you read from one stick while writing to the other, allowing for twice as many actions simultaneously it will always be more optimal to have two sticks no matter how much total RAM you have.

Note that going beyond 2 sticks is not usually a good idea; you would need to research your CPU/motherboard combination to see if it is optimized for use with more than dual channel (there are CPU/motherboard combinations that are optimized for beyond dual channel, but it's comparably few, and just having 4 slots on the board doesn't mean it's optimal to use them all).
