Anything special about this model? There are cheaper gen4 options
I don't know wondering this too, maybe if your system only supports gen3 this is about the fastest option ?
You're right. This is not a great deal.
what a bad deal!
I have to agree. I’m not sure how this is in the spirit of ozbaragin… there’s better faster newer tech options which are cheaper. Why would you?
Go forth and neg the deal, that's what the button is for.
You can get a Samsung 980 for about the same price. Very similar specs. (Slightly less TBW - 600 vs 650).

Only problem there is it’s dram-less, although 980 is pretty impressive despite it
Thanks for that info. I didn't realize they'd dropped the DRAM.
You can always go for the Pro, but that's more money, or the 970 EVO which is roughly the same price.
Looks like the one I listed is fine for most normal desktop use though.
Thanks for the detailed description!
