Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-2800)

The Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB comes as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 2800 MT/s with a CAS latency of 12, working out to a true latency of about 8.6ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. As a premium DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Its $465.32 price tag places it squarely in premium territory.
