Corsair Vengeance LP 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-1866)

The Corsair Vengeance LP 16 GB comes as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 9.6ns. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR3 option easy to justify.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $173.43 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
