You should have no problem.

1. Install your os on the ssd. Leave the 1tb hard drive unattached, or windows will locate a hidden recovery partition on it.
And... I think 64gb is too small, 120gb would be better. A SSD will lose performance and longevity when it approaches full. Lots of things want to go on the "C" drive. Perhaps even defer on the hard drive to when you need expansion room.

2. Performance of all m modern SSD's in real usage is remarkably similar. They are detectable only by unrealistic synthetic benchmarks.

3. I might pick Intel or Samsung first for reliability.

I normally recommend Samsung. Crucial, Intel, and Plextor are also worth considering.

I maintain the ssd database listed in the sticky at the very top of this forum section. Here is the link:

Scroll down to the brands and models you are interested in and follow the links to the technical reviews.

Your MSI g41m-p26 motherboard is an older board that only supports SATA 2 devices. A modern 3rd generation SATA 3 6Gb/s ssd will work but performance will only be at the SATA 2 3Gb/s level.

Sata 1/2/3 refer to the maximum bandwidth of the sata connection.
Sata 3 will allow a SSD to transfer at 500mb/s sequentially. That is 3x the maximum speed of a hard drive.
Since your motherboard uses sata 2, your ssd sequential transfers will be more like 250mb/s, which is still lots faster than a hard drive.
Not to worry, though, 90% of what the os and you do is small random I/O, and that will be 50X faster than a hard drive regardless of a sata2 or sata 3 connection.
Just buy any modern SSD and enjoy.
