It’s incredible how much the prices have fallen and that’s how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it’s a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that’s what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.

    I plan on building a new desktop sometime around black friday. Here’s hoping we’ll get some great deals like this then, too?

      Don’t wait for black Friday, get the parts in pieces as you find them on sale.

      Black Friday is when companies dump subpar parts to low prices just to get rid of them. Don’t bank it all on that sale.

      Set your build goals now (check [email protected] ) and use alerts/price trackers to see good deals. There are some good deals on Black Friday but many are bogus, its to better to check every now and then for deals.
