Patriot Signature 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1600)

Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 4GB 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 $57.99 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.
