Kingston ValueRAM 2 GB (1x2GB DDR3-1066)

The Kingston ValueRAM 2 GB comes as a single module with 2GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1066 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 13.1ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 2GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $29.35 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current memory kit prices across retailers.
