G.Skill Aegis 8 GB (1x8GB DDR3-1600)

The G.Skill Aegis 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 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. As a mid-range DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Expect to pay around $60.99, which lands it among mid-range options. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
