Just very indecisive about which SSD I should purchase. Mostly using the SSD for gaming and Win 7 OS. I know it wont increase game FPS performance and I don't really care about a 30 second startup time but I'm hoping it'll help reduce any possible stuttering from textures popping in while playing GTA IV and Skyrim as I plan to heavily mod them both. Even if only 5 or ten dollars I would like to save money where I can so I am wondering whether the performance difference between the three SSDs is going to be noticeable. That and the SSD's actual hardware reliability and longevity.
Kingston SSDNow V300 - $99
The Kingston looks to be the top contender out of the three but also the most expensive. I read a few reviews and it seems very well made for the value.

SanDisk Ultra Plus SDSSDHP-128G-G2 $94
Couldn't find many reviews about this one but it is cheaper (even if only four bucks) and has the extra 8 gigs, although I think it is slower than the Kingston, I'm just unsure by how much and if I would notice it.

SanDisk SDSSDP-128G-G25 128GB $89
This one is the cheapest compared to the Kingston and like the Ultra plus has the extra 8 gigs. The read/write speeds seem good but it has very low IOPS compared to the others. I don't know whether that will be noticeable performance wise but if it is negligible then this is the one I will likely buy since I can save ten bucks. I am also curious on the reliability of SanDisk SSDs compared to Kingston.
