Kingston HyperX 3 GB (3x1GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston HyperX 3 GB ships as 3 modules of 1GB each with 3GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 8, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. DDR3 pricing in the mid-range tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

3GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $65.99, which lands it among mid-range options.
