Hey! Recently I've bought a new PC i builded myself. Now i would like to buy ssd as well. Ive heard that ssd will boot my pc faster , load programs faster etc. I don't wanna spend so much money on ssd. Im thinking of buying HDSSD 2,5 120GB Crucial M500 7/9,5mm. Do you think this is a good ssd ? if not can you suggest me some good at the same price ? Also will this one match my other pc parts ?

My pc :
CASE - NZXT Source SE 210H Black
PSU - XFX 650W Core Edition
MOTHERBOARD - Asus M5A78L-M LX3
CPU - Fx6300
GPU - MSI Radeon R9 270X Gaming 2G 2GB
RAM - Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 PC12800/1600MHz CL10 8GB (KHX1600C10D3B1/8G)
HDD - WD Blue WD10EZEX 64MB 1TB

Thanks in advance. And sorry for my english!

The Crucial M500 is a decent, reliable choice at a great price.

You should install your windows OS on the SSD with all REGULARLY used program, while larger games and files is moved to your HDD.
The SSD will work fine with your current system, just ensure to use the SATA 3/6Gbps ports on your mobo.

3 gbps is sata II which is half as slow as 6 gbps sata III. Sata III with an SSD is around 500-550MBs tops. I highly recommend SSD over SSHD. But if price is a concern then a cache drive or SSHD isn't a bad choice since they're so much cheaper. Cache drives and SSHDs are not bad at all though if you just want a decent boost in performance. But, I still prefer SSD, and I haven't used a PC without an SSD since about 2011 now. They're definitely worth the money. You don't need to defrag them either. With SSHD you will still need defrag and such. But yes, you will want your OS on the SSD.

The Crucial M500 will definitely be worth the wait. Don't throw away your money on the V300! It is a slow, inferior SSD.
