G.Skill Ripjaws X + Turbulence II 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-2133)

The G.Skill Ripjaws X + Turbulence II 8 GB comes as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 2133 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 8.4ns. DDR3 pricing in the mid-range tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $99.99, which lands it among mid-range options.
