I have Chosen Samsung for SSD due to the reliability
I dont multitask on games, i play one at a time and bearly have anything running in the background. I am running windows 8.1 OS.
I have chosen the Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB

But have been told to spend the extra money for the Samsung SSD 840 PRO 128GB
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/uk/html/about/SSD840Pro.html
Price in my country converted to USD
EVO= $110
Pro= $145

I have read lots of conflicting article like this one
http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-840-Pro-128GB-vs-Samsung-840-Evo-120GB/1890vs1886
and then friends saying the Pro is better and worth it?

My question is it worth the extra money to get the Pro for my needs and my setup?(i have i5 haswell 3.4ghz, 16GB ram, ASUS GTX 680 OC, ASUS Z87 pro MB)
 
Solution
If you can afford it I'd go with the Pro since it's normally like $50 more than the EVO, but also because the pro has faster read and write speeds so you will get faster boot times.
