    So should I stick with the same model or go for Ballistix? Maybe I'm inviting unknown issues to arise by putting in a different model of RAM..
    Get two sticks the same.
    Easiest to buy a kit of two.
    Contrary to what others have posted, there is a special low price advertised at crucial uk, but they are out of stock at those special low prices at the moment.

    In the interests of competition, my UK supplier will do (these are all 8GB x 2, kit of 2, of the required specs, in stock:

    Patriot Viper Elite II £46.98
    Patriot Viper 4 £47.99
    Corsair Vengeance LPX £49.48
    Adata XPG Gammix D10 £49.98
    Kingston Fury Beast £52.43
    The Crucial Ballistix is £62.99

    No surprise, very similar prices with at least 2 other suppliers.

    These still the best ones to go for or is it worth investing in the new DDR5 model?

    I kept waiting for that sale price page to get restocked and never bothered - looks like the 32GB Crucial Ballistic 2x16GB DDR4-3200 are still going for around £120

    Guy in this video is saying HP's are set up to be incompatible with many RAM sticks on the market and that you have to buy from HP (and get ripped off) didn't really understand all of the techie stuff to be honest but this sounds worrying - not the same model as mine but similar and from the same time
