Mushkin Blackline 32 GB (4x8GB DDR3-1600)

The Mushkin Blackline 32 GB arrives as 4 modules of 8GB each with 32GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 12.5ns. 32GB gives you enough headroom for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR3 option easy to justify. Expect to pay around $38.99, which lands it among budget options.
