1.Opensuse
The developers of opensuse spend a lot of time for the development of KDE.As we know opensuse is the most beautiful kde distribution currently in the market.I think its the amazing green colour they have given for their plasma.Its not just the graphics that brings the opensuse to the top,it provides so many tweaks to customize your desktop.Also the office suite developed by the same company,openoffice suites best in their own kde desktop.
Minimun system requirements for opensuse 12.01 
openSUSE 12.1 has full support for 32-bit i586 and 64-bit x86-64 PC hardware
RAM: 512 MB minimum, 1 GB recommended

website: http://www.opensuse.org

2.Kubuntu

 Kubuntu distribution is very powerful but not gained much popularity like its partner ubuntu.But Kubuntu developers are still trying hard to make it to the top of the kde distros.Current version is 12.04 which has longterm support for 5 years.
System requirements for ubuntu 12.04
Minimum processor speed 1GHz
Minimum RAM 384MB recommended is 1 GB

website : http://www.kubuntu.org

3.Chakra

Chakra is an arch derivative with default kde interface.It is a young distribution comparing with the other toppers in the list but thay have a very good developers community.More over it is based on arch which is one of the best linux platform.One of the disadvantage of chakra is it does not come other desktop environments.So you have to get satisfied with kde exclusively.
System requirements
Intel pentium II or higher processor with 512 MB of RAM.In Virtualbox it needs 1 GB of RAM

chakra 2012.05
