Hey guys! I'm thinking of buying the GL702VI:
https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834234744&_ga=2.244840581.1436739576.152475351...

Since I run VMs, I'd like to upgrade it to 32 GB RAM right at purchase. Do you know if it's safe to combine it with any brand chip that has the same specs as the one already in there?

According to the ASUS website, the RAM should be:
DDR4 2400MHz SDRAM, 2 x SO-DIMM socket

I am looking at this chip:

In your experience/opinion, would it work, or should I expect some kind of conflict?

You could do that, but personally, I like to put the same exact chip in there to match. Mixing brands may result in unsatisfactory performance.
