Which SSD is better?

Hi community,
I am building my first gaming PC over the christmas holidays and was wondering what SSD id better and why. I would like to save as much money as I can, so if the SanDisk one is good then I would prefer to get that one as it is cheaper.

IMHO, except for benchmarking or extreme data work any SSD will make you happy. I'm thrilled with the performance of mine, which is sitting on an SATA II port.

Will there be any noticable difference?

IMHO, no noticeable difference. The improvement over an HDD will be so amazing that the last one or two percent won't be detectable.

So do you think the sandisk SSD will be fine for gaming and everyday use, with hardly any noticeable difference compared to the Samsung 840 EVO?
