So I got this GPU because it was a steal at $130, and was a little better than the GTX 950 SSC from EVGA. Plus, it's got a noticable increase in CUDA cores over the 950. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it because it's simply not available. Or, if it is, its MSRP is $410. Don't do it unless you were in my exact circumstance, which I doubt you are.
Since this is also my first build, I don't have much to compare it with besides reading specs.
