This crap marketing website used to be about finding good deals. Now its a commission based gouge fest.
This is a good deal with 2tb NVME SSD.

The SSD deal price was down to about $114 last year.
So you're paying retail on the motherboard with a free SSD, as long as you also buy a CPU (pair with a 270k Plus and you get last year's 285k performance for much less money) or some other combo-eligible part if you've got a CPU already.
The thing about "what did it cost last year", though, is that last year's prices aren't coming back as long as:
- Supply hasn't caught up with demand, which won't be true as long as datacenters continue to be built
- Tariffs are still in place, which isn't likely to change in the short term
So you won't see that $114 for a 2TB SSD anytime soon, let alone from a respectable brand. If you need to build anything anytime soon, this is a very good deal.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
