Why Budget DDR4 RAM is Still a Champion in 2024

While the hype train has moved on to the next generation, DDR4 remains the undisputed value king. For anyone running an AMD Ryzen 5000 series or Intel 12th-gen (or older) CPU, DDR4 is the smart, cost-effective choice. The performance difference for pure gaming is often minimal, but the price difference can be massive. This means you can afford a higher capacity kit—like 32GB instead of 16GB—for the same price as a basic next-gen kit, giving you more headroom for multitasking while you game.

Of course, if you're building a brand-new rig with the latest silicon, exploring cutting-edge DDR5 memory makes sense for future-proofing. But for everyone else, sticking with quality, affordable DDR4 is the winning move.

What to Look For in Affordable Gaming RAM

Navigating the specs can feel a bit technical, but finding great budget DDR4 RAM is simple when you know what to focus on. Here are the three key factors.

Speed (MHz)

Measured in Megahertz (MHz), this is how fast your RAM can read and write data. For gaming on a budget, the sweet spot for DDR4 is between 3200MHz and 3600MHz. This range offers a fantastic performance uplift over older, slower kits without the premium price tag of a high-end overclocking module.

Capacity (GB)

How much RAM do you need?

• 16GB (2x8GB): This is the gold standard for modern gaming. It provides enough capacity to run demanding titles smoothly alongside Discord and a few browser tabs.
• 32GB (2x16GB): A great upgrade if you stream, edit videos, or simply want to ensure your rig is ready for future games. With today's prices, it's more accessible than ever.

Latency (CL)

CAS Latency (CL) measures the delay before your RAM responds to a command. Lower is better. For budget 3200MHz-3600MHz kits, look for a CL rating between 16 and 18. A CL16 kit will be slightly snappier than a CL18 kit, but both offer excellent gaming performance for the price. ✨
