Hello.

I want to upgrade to 2 SSD drives configuration. First SSD would be strictly for Windows 10 and
I am thinking about getting 120Gigs.

The second SSd I want to get for everything else, like gaming, graphics, etc, etc. I want to get 1TB.

The MoBo I have installed:
ASUS P8H77-M/CSM LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H77M/

And the PSU:

I have GTX 970 as well.

My questions:

- Will I have enough power to support my hardware setup?
- What kind of cables do I need to buy in order to connect my SSD? It seems like I do not have this kind of connectors on my PSU:

- What kind of SSD drives would you recommend? I have been reading about them but still so many to chose from. It seems like Samsung's EVOs are very popular. Would that be a good choice? I want to connect both to SATA 3 slots on my MB. Just like most of the people I want to get the best bang for my buck, please any other suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you in advance.

SSD uses the exact same power hookup as modern HDD, SATA power and SATA data. Samsung is the gold standard currently for SSD; high performance, high reliability, okay on cost.
