Crucial CT8G3S160BM 8 GB (1x8GB DDR3-1600)

The Crucial CT8G3S160BM 8 GB comes as a single module with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR3 option easy to justify.

8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $68.00 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
