Which RAM and SSD for NUC?

I'm going to buy this NUC kit. www.primeabgb.com/online-price-reviews-india/intel-nuc-13-pro-kit-nuc13anhi5-barebone-mini-pc-with-13th-gen-core-i5-1340p-processor/

It price is around 41,250/- today. Its a barebone kit and I don't know which RAM should I use for this one.

Which RAM (32GB x 2) and SSD (1 TB) should I buy for NUC? Will it be able to support Viewfinity S9 Monitor? It is 49 inch, 5120x1440 super ultra-wide monitor.

Thanks.

It mentions DDR4, even PrimeABGB mentions DDR4 RAM. So not sure what your query is? Just get 2x 32GB DDR4 3200MHz laptop RAM sticks.

SSD - www.onlyssd.com/buy/adata-xpg-spectrix-s40g-rgb-1tb-m-2-nvme-ssd-as40g-1tt-c/
Looks like a good Gen3 SSD, should be enough

For monitor, NUC has HDMI 2.1 ports as per the specs. So that monitor will work fine if you use a HDMI 2.1 cable or use DP 1.4 via type C.

I am confused about brand of RAM. Adata or Crucial or any other.

Its a RGB SSD.
What about this one : *www.thevaluestore.in/western-digital-wd-blue-sn570-1tb-m-2-nvme-ssd

Adata, Crucial, Kingston are all top brands.

RGB was not the point, being a good Gen3 TLC SSD with DRAM is. Also reasonable price. SN570 needs to be priced 4.5k to be worth recommending.

Great, thanks a lot. I'll go with Adata Xpg then.

Note that there are only three companies that make DRAM chips: Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix.

Kingston, AData, Corsair etc. just use chips from these companies to make DIMMs.

Crucial is a bit special in the sense that it is Micron's in house brand.

Personal opinion, I won't spend this much on a barebones NUC.

Agreed, me too. Here the price is for the compact size IMO.

At 11k Cinebench R23 score, i5 1340P is bit inferior to an i5 12400 desktop CPU. So, unless the small size is a dealbreaker, mATX build will be a better value. NUC is basically a CPU, mobo, PSU & cabinet in 1 package. I think you can build a i5 13500 mATX build for same price if you want a high performance rig (assumption because of 32GB RAM being considered). @Flake
