TEAMGROUP Vulcan 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1600)

The TEAMGROUP Vulcan 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 12.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR3 option easy to justify.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $39.99 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.
