Kingston ValueRAM 1 GB (1x1GB DDR3-1333)

The Kingston ValueRAM 1 GB comes as a single module with 1GB 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. DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

1GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Its $19.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
