It comes with Borderlands 2 for free also, so if you also had that planned to buy, it'll save ya $60. Just a thought, it really is a fantastic card.

Also worth noting, a PCI E 3.0 card works fine on a 2.0 slot. The loss in framerate is at most like, 1 fps.
My family's computer has a GeForce 260 GTX, and I've been trying to get my dad to take the hood off the computer box's casing to see if the graphics card is removable. I also told my dad that a new card (I would like him to get the 660 Ti) so that he can play Arkham Asylum (he's a huge Batman fan, lol) with good performance and graphics. I mean, the 260 GTX is good, it's just not DirectX 11 hardware-based.
