Hi:

 

I recommend the Samsung 980 PCIe 3.0 x 4 SSD, which has a slightly faster sequential write speed than the HP Ex 950 according to the specs.

 

Amazon.com: SAMSUNG (MZ-V8V1T0B/AM) 980 SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with...

 

Since your notebook has an  Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, it should support 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-2400 memory.

 

This should be the 16 GB memory that would work in your notebook...

 

Crucial 16GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM | CT16G4SFD824A | Crucial.com

 

You can verify how much memory your PC can support by doing this...

 

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator. This will open the command prompt.

 

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacity and hit enter. There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

 

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.
