Honestly, seeing these Prime models at MSRP is a huge relief for builders on a budget. Their basically the best value play right now for high-refresh 1440p if you don't wanna pay the "Strix tax" for extra LEDs. Just a couple tips for anyone still on the fence:
* Make sure your PSU is ATX 3.0/3.1 compliant to avoid using those clunky 12VHPWR adapters.
* Check your case dimensions; even though these are meant to be more compact, they're surprisingly long for a dual-fan setup.
* Keep an eye on the thermals once you get it installed since the shroud is a bit slimmer than the TUF variants. Tbh, you're gonna save enough here to basically pay for a decent NVMe drive or a RAM upgrade. Glad to see stock finally stabilizing lol.

Thanks. Just got one.
