Re: Question about two different processors
They probably didn't do that since it would be kind of a waste of time, it was probably 1 of 2 things; A. Your version of the same laptop was made earlier or later than the others and therefore had slightly different hardware; or B. It was the same exact model but configured differently from the factory.
If you don't do any of the activities that I listed above, than no, more RAM isn't worth it, but you should certainly consider upgrading your current RAM to something with a higher clock rate AKA lower latency as I mentioned, since your getting an SSD anyway and they can only compliment each other.
If you want to add some anyway though, then that frequency and brand of RAM will work perfectly, but you do need to pay attention to voltage, as 3rd generation Ivy bridge processors used 1.5V RAM, while 4th and 5th generation Hazwell and Broadwell processors use 1.35V RAM and 6th generation Skylake processors use 1.2V RAM.
Yes, you can sometim
es use higher voltage RAM, but it's apparently not very good for your motherboard, so it's just safer not to. Which means you should be using DDR3L not regular DDR3, L stands for low voltage, 1.35V.
In terms of the SSD, go right ahead and use an 850 Evo if you can afford it, especially if it's on sail, the other ones I listed were just class pacing and slightly cheaper alternatives, but that's a great drive! and as you said it has a good warranty...
That said, you probably shouldn't ever pay more than 80 bucks for a 120/128GB SSD, so what ever price you found it for should factor in.
