Mushkin Proline 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1333)

The Mushkin Proline 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles.

As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $37.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current memory kit prices across retailers.
