Kingston KVR16LE11S8/4 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston KVR16LE11S8/4 4 GB ships as a single module with 4GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns. 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.

4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $39.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
