Just a reminder that this is PCI-E Gen 3, for Gen 4 you need a 5600, 5600x, 5700x etc. (Vermeer). If your m2.SSD is Gen 3 then go for it. It's a great price (in this overpriced market) since the Vermeer ones start at $150 minimum now.

That's what it should be priced at anyway.

If you have MC nearby, it's currently $70

Hoping it would drop to $50 again, but unlikely with everything going on in tech world.

Bottom of the barrel in terms of performance, but if you're in a jam then it'll do.

This bundle deal at MC is pretty good, $200 for CPU, 16GB(2X8), and motherboard.
