Hey Guys!
I'm looking to upgrade my system with a SSD to play bf4 and dayz more efficiently. I'm sure an ssd with be an upgrade all around for my OS.

What SSD would you recommend for the good price/performance ratio? I'm looking at a Kingston SSD for only 55 dollars on new egg and sitting here like oh god....not all ssd are created equal are they? So should i go with a corsair? or a kingston or what gahhh is 120gb enough?? im trying to keep this upgrade under 100$ also guys. i currently have 1 1tb hardrive froma hp i had a few years ago and alos a 250gb drive from a old dell probably from the early 200's lol so.

I recommend going with a Samsung EVO 840 or 850, I'm on my forth Samsung SSD and they all work great. I recommend them at work and don't have any issue with performance. I also like Intel 520 / 530's. Both the Samsung and Intel units have great warranties (3 years plus).

I must have bought about 10 SSD drives for personal use at home over the past 5 years or so... the only failures I've had are Crucial and OCZ units. 120Gb is fine for now, but if you have a lot of games you should consider a 250Gb - currently Newegg has the EVO 250Gb for $105.

Have Fun
 
crucial mx100 or samsung 850 evo. depends on the size you need and the price. usually you are going to find the mx100 beating the 850evo price... but i did see the 256gb 850 evo drop to $199. the 850 evo is slightly better than the mx100. but dont get to caught up in either of their speed; both are extremely well made drives and just buy whichever one is cheaper.
