When choosing the Intel Core i7-9700K, you'll need some speedy RAM to go alongside the high-performance processor. While you could get away with selecting the most affordable RAM on the market, it's better to go with our collection of recommendations here to get the most out of the CPU.
Top Pick
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB Kit
Editor's pick
Corsair makes some great RAM modules, and this 16GB Vengeance LPX kit is a killer package. You've got 3,000MHz speeds, awesome performance, and great value, making it our top pick for the Intel Core i7-9700K.
RGB RAM
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO
Our top pick doesn't come rocking RGB lighting, which many system builders prefer to add. This is where the Vengeance RGB PRO kit comes into play, sporting similar specs to the pick above, but houses some LEDs to add some additional light to the inside of your chassis.
Premium Design
G.Skill Trident Z Royal Gold 16GB Kit
We'd forgive you to assuming this RAM kit is actually a decoration since the modules look that good. G.SKILL nailed the design of the Trident Z Royal Gold, and this 16GB kit isn't all about looks. It'll help your Intel Core i7 CPU utterly smash through benchmarks.
High Capacity RAM
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB Kit
If you need more than 16GB of RAM, we've selected our top 3,000MHz Corsair pick once again, but with a 32GB kit — consisting of two 16GB modules. This allows you to add a further two 16GB sticks at a later date to bring the total up to 32GB.
If we were to recommend RAM...
It's easy to get lost in the sea of RAM for your PC, but not all of the modules on sale are good enough for the Intel Core i7-9700K. Generally speaking, you'll want to invest in a kit that offers considerably high speeds, low latency, and good value. This is all wrapped up nicely with the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB Kit.
Should you value the design of your PC more over the best bang for your buck, the G.SKILL TridentZ kits kit is a popular option for those wanting to add a little flair to their build.
