I am looking to get an SSD for my computer because this standard 1TB drive is driving me up the wall any ways I was debating either between the Samsung Pro 256GB or the Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB? is one or the other better for gaming mostly for loading and boot times? Any tips or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks.

From what I have read there is little to no performance gained by putting games on an ssd. Boot times will be fast though. So load screens in games, transitioning to different areas that have load screens. Maybe this will be enjoyable and helpful to you. Playing games like Fallout where you transition in and out of different areas it would be nice to load into and out of those areas fast. It will not increase your FPS or other performance measurements. So it is up to you. If you are playing games that you transition to loading screens a lot then it may be worth it. But overall your performance in games will be exactly the same.
