Should I wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday to buy a GTX 970?

I currently have a GTX 660 Ti and want to play newer titles such as Fallout 4; however, I believe that I would have the most optimal experience with a new GPU. I've been looking into the 970, but I only have so much money on hand at the moment. I want to buy either the Gigabyte G1 or the MSI card, which are both fairly expensive. How low will the price get around Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Preferably below $300 (Even if something like $290). Do you guys think that I should wait it out or purchase one now?

Newegg.com has the white MSI 970 GTX for $280 and there's a $20 mail in rebate. I almost bought it but I'm waiting for black Friday. However, that is definitely the lowest I've ever seen a 970. I was notified via promotional email. I'm not sure if the site would just have it listed as $280 or not. I would imagine it does.
