I'm considering getting an NVMe SSD for my PC which has a PCIe 3.0 4x motherboard. The Crucial P3 is on sale and it's cheaper than the Kingston NV2 in my area. Is the P3 worth it for use as my OS drive and for some games?

Both the Crucial P3 and Kingston NV2 use QLC flash, which isn't the best for durability. Over time, you might notice slowdowns after a few years of use. Just curious, what region are you in? It could affect your choices.
The Crucial P3 should be fine for your needs! It's a solid option. Just keep in mind that since you're comparing it with the WD Green SN350 and Lexar NM620, those might offer different performance depending on your use case.
I'm in Egypt. I've also heard mixed things about their longevity. There are a few local sites where I usually buy my parts.
