Hey,
so I decided I in need of a 240GB SSD to my computer...
I currently thinking about two SSDs and i whould like help to choose from.
One is the Corsair Force GS(240GB and 203$) while the other is Sandisk Ultra Plus (256GB and 187$)
I need this SSD to hold my windows program and some Adobe's too and ofcourse... a bit of games...

if my specs are importent:
i have an z87x-d3h motherboard from gigabyte,
intel I5-4670,
and a gtx680 gpu.

another thins i had on my mind, is that i whould like to format my current HDD and empty it completely, and install the fresh copy of windows on the SSD so i whould like to know how to and if someone can tell me all the steps that required for this process .

I am buying the SSD from that store: ksp-ssd
If you can tell me the best choise from all the models ther I whould be extreamly happy.
By the way.. The price over this site is-"new israeli shekels".

Another subject i just thougth,
When i install the ssd, the ssd will be called "c" ? Like my old HDD, Or that i will need to do something to change its name?

Thank you for any help ;)

Pyran.

those ssds will do fine but I would consider getting the crucial mx100 for $110. Real world performance will be similar to those ssds while costing significantly less (would avoid expensive ssds that are marketed as high performance because in reality most ssds have similar real world performance that the average user wouldnt notice the difference)

if you still have a windows instalion disc / usb then all you would have to do is remove the hdd, pop the ssd into the slot where the hdd is, turn on your computer, and boot from your disc /usb . after thats done put the hdd into any empty slot along with the ssd and use a program like http://www.partition-tool.com/landing/home-download.htm to delete the hdd. Or you could clone your hdd...
