Kingston HyperX 4 GB (2x2GB DDR3-1333)

The Kingston HyperX 4 GB ships as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB 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. As a budget 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 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Expect to pay around $9.99, which lands it among budget options. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
