What's the price difference between the two specific drive capacities you're wishing to buy? They're both excellent drives.

The 730 for 99$ (256gb) and the 850 for 140$(256gb)

It's not worth the extra $40 for the Samsung 850 PRO IMO. I would go for the Intel drive.

Why do you need a Samsung Pro drive? The Evo is is a more consumer oriented one, with a lower price point. I'd rather get an 500 GB Evo drive than a 120 or 250 GB Pro drive. Both Intel and Samsung make good SSDs though.

The pro is 10$ more expensive and on the ssd will only be the os and 2 or 3 games so 256 is more than enough:)
