So it's time to get some storage. And I require 2TB for OS and games. And still running a 3tb spinning rust for movies. Realistically Gen3 is probably more than enough for my use as I don't do any work that involves large files and such, but might as well go Gen4 since it is cool. And for comparison the Samsung Gen3 970 EVO Plus is $225. So yeah paying about $75 more for Gen4.

Choices locally are:
$295: ADATA XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade
$340: Samsung 980 PRO
$290: GIGABYTE AORUS
$300: Corsair MP600 PRO

I'm learning towards Corsair. Black heatsink should blend fine.
 
Solution
Get the 970 Evo Plus. Anything faster than that is a total waste of money. Load times are identical above 2000mb/sec, at that speed you’re waiting for the rest of the system to catch up before you load the next asset anyway, so a faster drive doesn’t speed up the process.

If money is a joke to you, then get the 980 Pro.
