Kingston KCP426SS8/8 8 GB (1x8GB DDR4-2666)

The Kingston KCP426SS8/8 8 GB arrives as a single module with 8GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 17, working out to a true latency of about 12.8ns. As a budget DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into 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. Its $58.69 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
