Hello. I'am gonna buy an ultimate gaming computer. I'am gonna have 2x gtx 780's. i7 4770k, xfx 850w psu, 16gb ram, etc.

And I got a question, what will my windows experience index score be with Samsung SSD 840 EVO 750GB SSD? I know that the WEI score is fucked, but my friends don't think so :). Btw, I'am gonna use Windows 8

Hi,
Don't worry about it. I recommend the 840...

Hi,
First of all, please no swearing on the forums; that will get you banned.
Second of all, for a build of that quality, you probably don't want that SSD; it is much lower in terms of performance than their top-of-the-line. Just because it has more storage does not mean that it will perform better, especially since these are different lines of products.
Finally, if you'd like us to check your build, you're welcome to post it in a separate thread.

Okay, I'am so sorry sir.
Sorry if I sounded a bit disrespectful.
Anyway, whats wrong with these SSD? I know it got a pretty big storage, but what makes it worse then a Samsung pro SSD? Both have same read/write speed...

Its an endless debate about which is better the 840 Pro or the 840 Evo and once again i will type here on this forum that the two drives are meant for seperate uses, the EVO is End-User orientated, the PRO is Small Business/Server orientated because of the workload it can take. A regular end-user, even gamer, won't notice the difference between the two, and also the EVO has the RAPID feature and the ability to act like a SLC controller when moving files within the cache that the turbowrite algorithm sets for itself.

Hi,
Don't worry about it. I recommend the 840 Pro because of the fact that it uses MLC instead of TLC, meaning that it will last you much longer. Also, in the off-chance that it doesn't last you very long, there is a five year warranty, compared to three on the EVO.
However, if you really need that 750GB of storage, then that or the Crucial M500 is the way to go; otherwise, you're spending upwards of one grand on a single SSD.
