There are many 64GB SSDs but i need a good SSD which have good performance for its price.
My motherboard is asus m5a78l-m usb3.
Also i need an internal SSD since i want it to stay inside my pc case.
I have to get the Sata cable and the SSD bracket with the SSD right?
Thank you for your time.

64GB is pretty small. I would suggest at very least 120GB. Here is a link to a solid 120 GB SSD listed on Amazon for around 75 dollars. This isn't much more than the 64GB options. Maybe 20 dollars more. That's it!

Here is also a link to 2 SATA III cables for only 6 dollars.

The most common option for mounting it would be to buy a 3.5" to 2.5" mount. Again, here is a link to Amazon showing a mount. You can actually mount 2 SSD's on this mount should you...

This should set you up quite nicely. Enjoy!

I agree with the previous poster, 64GB is pretty small and it won't take long to fill it up. Remember you want to keep at least 10 to 20% of the SSD drive space free for optimal performance. You can also get an 120 GB Samsung EVO for $99.99 with a desktop mounting kit on Amazon as well - http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE120KW/dp/B00E3W162W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394514780&sr=8-1&keywords=120+GB+SSD+with+mounting+kit

The desktop kit comes with the following:
Migration Software, includes Bracket, Screws, SATA Cable, Power Cable, USB to SATA Cable, Drive Spacer
