  The 970evos came down to around this price if you included the 5% gc and $45 cash back.

    I don't think the 970 1TB sticks quite got that near that price. And, couldn't find many in stock anyway.

    Although tomorrow, with 10% off, the Samsung should be around $240 after Cashback at Ebay sellers. If you have any 5% GC left… then THAT would be pretty good price.
