Kingston HyperX 3 GB (3x1GB DDR3-1333)

The Kingston HyperX 3 GB comes as 3 modules of 1GB each with 3GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 10.5ns. 3GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $21.99, which lands it among budget options.
