Corsair ValueSelect 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Corsair ValueSelect 4 GB comes as a single module with 4GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use.

As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $49.00 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
