Without a doubt, the Samsung 840 EVO is the best SSD in all aspects of an SSD out there. I see that you even have 16GB of RAM, which is way more than enough to enable you to use Samsung's RAPID mode. RAPID mode essentially uses some of your RAM as a cache in order to boost the read/write times of your EVO/PRO SSD by nearly 2x. You would get ~1100MB/s read/write with an 840 EVO in your system.
