considering the processor is this price on amazon as it is, a 120GB SSD thrown in seems quite good. SSD has Read/write of 560MBs/410MBs
Bought from Novatech before, they're a UK based Company, and seem to have ok customer service

Paired with 8gb ram and Geforce 970 I get 60fps/high on all modern games at 1080p.

They are hardly going to be in the same price range and even if they were it's way too early for a clear out.

why get stuck with stock you cant sell, when they are forced to reduce it for a negliable profit , when something newer comes out.

Not getting rid of stock, this is most likely a distributor or even AMD promotion they have gotten access to. They don't have hundreds of these they need to clear and they will want to have some stock left right before the new cpus come out

An absolute boss of a cpu. I had one and I overclocked it to hell and back (about 5ghz is where hell lies for this cpu

And it will still be outperformed in most things by an i3 6100 and you end up paying more by the time you buy an overclocking motherboard, decent cooler and higher quality PSU needed for a good oc. This is a nice cheap CPU but it's 4 years old and wasn't great when new.

Great processor, I got one a long time time ago and works great. The 120GB is a bonus. Decent deal.

No you don't and I know that you don't because I ran a 970 with 16GB and an FX-6600 for around 8 months last year.
