You need RAM that matches the following specification:
PC4-21300 2666 MHz DDR4, 260-pin
Here are some examples of RAM modules that should work:
Honestly, they all cost about the same, maybe you’ll save a few Dollars.
This video shows you the procedure of upgrading the RAM:
These are fast and will do well. You don't really need anywhere above 2666 RAM for the mobo/CPU combo that the 13 has:

NVMe M.2 1 TB SSDs are ridiculously expensive- but I have this particular 1 TB SATA SSD, and it has boost software that can increase it's speed (check the amazon reviews.) I really love it, and would highly recommend:

To answer your question: yes, it should work. I have this: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Performance-2666MHz-Unbuffered/dp/B01BMMVNL4 and by looking at the specs, it compares exactly to your’s and should work fine.
>s; check the model spec to make sure that it's M.2 NVMe/SATA depending on what you wanted, but SSD incompatibility basically doesn't exist.
Thanks for such a detailed answer.
Glad to know that the Ram frequency above 2400 does not matter. Some of the commentators have suggested a 2400MHZ 2*8gb module such as https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Memory-2400MHz-SODIMM-CMSX16GX4M2A2400C16/dp/B019MRBKYG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=13K426EVH0N13&keywords=sodimm+ddr4&qid=1563490549&refinements=p_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A677429011&rnid=673240011&s=gateway&sprefix=sodimm+%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-3
I'm confused as to why https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Performance-2666MHz-Unbuffered/dp/B01BMMVNL4/ref=sr_1_5?crid=13K426EVH0N13&keywords=sodimm+ddr4&qid=1563490549&refinements=p_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A677429011&rnid=673240011&s=gateway&sprefix=sodimm+%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-5 is cheaper even though its 2666. Is it because of the CAS latency?
Regarding media, that's right. I have a large NAS that stores all my media. So my main drive is only for my OS and whatever steam games I'm currently playing (and I probably get to play like for a few hours a week, so I dont need many games on disk). Hence capacity isnt an issue. Do AAA games require 1-2 TB? I assume 500 GB should keep me covered for the most part right? What do you think about https://slickdeals.net/f/13228237-1tb-intel-660p-3d-nand-nvme-m-2-2280-ssd-85-ac-newegg?attrsrc=Test%3AHideExpiredSearch%3AHide%20Expired&src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1. The comments talk about QLC and so on, but I know little about SSDs to know why that matters.
thanks :)
