I use the Samsung 250 GB Evo. Its fine.

I wouldnt get one thats too small it can fill up pretty fast. And smaller capacity SSD's also have less cache (than the higher capacity ones). So may perform slower in reading and / or writing

Nope that CPU should work out of the box, according to the site

Intel Core i5-4460 3.20GHz 6MB 350 MHz / 1100 MHz Haswell Refresh 22nm C0 84W 100 F5

F5 is the first BIOS.

Not sure about the Intel 530. It and the 520 have been having firmware probs. And customers found that they disappeared after reboots

Dont know if this issue has been fixed yet tho
