Mushkin Proline 16 GB (1x16GB DDR3-1333)

The Mushkin Proline 16 GB arrives as a single module with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 10.5ns. 16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $37.99 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.
