Which is worth getting? Samsung 860 EVO 250GB (79.99 or 90.39 w/ tax) or 500GB (119.99 or $135.59 w/ tax)

The SSD is going to be my boot drive, important applications and will be planning to put a couple of games that I mostly play like CS:GO, maybe even GTAV if there is enough space for it

I'll also have a Secondary Drive which is a Seagate HDD (1TB)

Please, let me know peeps just right before Thursday, since the sale price of the SSD will end on Thursday midnight! Thank you!

+1 to 500GB, especially since games are getting larger and larger these days.
