I'm building a gaming rig for the first time but i'll not have the money until mid January, yet i know there are gonna sweet deals on Black Friday.
I can't buy all my parts right now, but i can buy something not too expensive, and i was considering the 500gb version of the 850 EVO.
For those who have experience with BF, what should i probably buy?
Buy it right now on Massdrop.

>>51275010
its cheaper on Amazon
>>51275019
So when the good deals come? The EVO it's 41% off right now, you think it can go lower?
>>51275019
Black friday and cyber monday have always been shit.
Fuck, even amazon's 'prime day' was them selling literal garbage.
Just get a 950, the only reason 850s are dirt cheap right now is because everyone's ditching them for 950s.

2.5 inch drives are going to plummet in price when more people realize that m.2 x4 is superior in every way.
>>51275056
Honestly just wait for the sales. SSD's are getting cheaper by the month.
>>51275072
So i guess i'll just wait for the m.2 then
So there are no deals to take adventage?
Well shit.

Don't be a noob, wait for Zen
>>51275307
I really want to buy AMD, but let's be real, Zen is not going to be a match for the 6700k.
>>51275286
You could get a motherboard on black Friday to support m.2 x4.

AMD will somehow find a way to mess it all up.
Nobody's doubting shitwrecker, look what he did with the Apple A7.
>>51275366
I was considering either the Mobo or the RAM, probably some 3200Mhz DDR4
>>51275411
The funny thing is I don't think anyone even knows how he was involved with the a7. What was his specific job while at apple?
srsly tho, if amd flops with zen, i'm going to drop all hope i have for amd cpu's and if r9 400 series flops aswell, might aswell abandon ship
>>51275435
Dunno, but he did do something.
Apple A8 and A9 were only faster because of moar gigahurtz, IPC hasn't changed much at all considering how many times more transistors there are in the successors of the A7.
>>51275072
Do these need to be supported by the mobo or are they just standard PCI-E?
>>51275070
Is the average user actually going to notice the difference between a 850 and a 950?
I've got the 256gb one. And it was worth any penny of it. But to install it i had a few troubleshooters. Nonetheless 11/10

>not buying all the parts now
Terrible idea, the best thing to do is get all the parts at once so if something goes awry you can easily get a refund or RMA
>>51275895
some mobos have m.2 slots.
You can get a pci-e slot adapter card doe
bought the 850 eco a few days ago off amaZon for 159
Even during the sales I honestly doubt it will drop lower than 149
Never having an SSD before - it is so ducking worth it
500gb btw
