Buying Ddr3 Ram for old Pc ?

I would suggest rather than looking at brand names, you should check the MHz that these RAMs come with. MHz is the unit that shows the speed of RAM. So, just see which one of these RAMs has a higher MHz and choose one accordingly. If both these RAMs come with the same MHz, then maybe you can purchase the one that's easy on your pockets.

For example, 8 GB of RAM with 3600 MHz speed would be better than 8 GB of RAM with 3200 MHz. I hope it helps

this, and check whether your mobo and cpu supports the mhz you are going to buy or not.

@Sahil_Jain @tyagi.aakarsh73 my motherboard is Gigabyte b85m d3h it is really old i assembled this pc in 2014 and the ram frequency was 1333 MHz ( 1600/1333mhz) DDr3 . 
My question to you guys is which of these brands are trustworthy and have good quality products?
because dd3 is old now and very few good brands manufacture it and the old stock of Corsair, hyperx and gskill is sold by 3rd party sellers at skyrocketed prices ... i don't wanna spend a lot on this pc so I shortlisted ant esports and simmtronics . there are other brands too like dolgix , hynix, Av, consistent, alketron

As stated in the specs list that you shared, your motherboard will support RAMs with 1600 and 1333 MHz, that's clear. But naming a brand as better than the other would be a bit difficult. It's like asking if OnePlus is better than Samsung, though both brands make good phones and bad ones too. 
So rather than looking at the brands' names, just go with the one that offers a better product at a reasonable price. A particular brand might be the best for someone, but may not be that great for others, that's subjective, right?

What would you even do with 32gb ram on such old system anyway? I hope you are not expecting it to become "fast" just by adding 32gb ram.

@guest_999  it still works well for creative work like 1080p editing on premiere pro and graphics on Photoshop. and some games at 1080p.

DDR3 is almost NOT manufactured these days, recycled mostly (chips as well modules). Simmtronics definitely puts a sticker on refurb modules (had bought one in Jan 23)... I guess your luck might be better with ANT.

Check current module config like 2R x 8 (rows x density)... speed : if higher, it drops to one of the lowest module to work in tandem.

@Agnivo007 how about adata available for 1400 per stick

Post the links of the deals you are eyeing on...

Also check and post the labels of the current RAM you have in system. You have 2 populated slots out of 4?

EDIT : I see that you tend to replace all existing ones with 8GBx4 sticks... please post links to the listings you have eyed on. ANT would be a value for money deal IMO.

@Agnivo007ant audio ram ddr3 it was available for 925 few days ago

Buy with ASV or supported cards to get 5% off... or wait if you can to get lowest price!

i understand why u want 32gb ram, running all adobe software (to use dymanic link) takes a lot of ram 😅 i would go with ant esports one

@Dealcharmer Are you interested in this? Lower than ant, looks like fresh not refurb...

https://www.geonix.in/product/Desktop%20RAM/Geo...

Also available under 1k on FK / Amazon for Geonix, Consistent, Alketron, Aarvex, etc. 1600 8GB for further discounts or offers (but I think you don't want these brands)

@Agnivo007 Yes my confusion is regarding the brands because non of the reputed brands are available for ddr3 rams like Corsair, gskill , hyperx and whatever is left is old stock with 3rd party sellers who are selling it at skyrocketed prices.

@Dealcharmer I think I mentioned already that DDR3 stuff isn't mass manufactured now, production stopped for reputed and well known brands many years ago.

The ones you see now for sale are either pulled working modules or mostly refurbished. Even chips are extracted and put on new pcb as per order (cottage level industry in china these days).

Very few new chips might be newly produced now in small quantities at some foundries for these brands you find now...
