Kingston KVR13LR9D4/16HA 16 GB (1x16GB DDR3-1333)

The Kingston KVR13LR9D4/16HA 16 GB arrives as a single module with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 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 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. At $48.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
