Tomorrow is 11.11.2017 and theres sales going. Im about to buy an ssd but I dont know which should I buy. Im going to be using the SSD only for boot and maybe store some games that needed fast storage in order to perform better. So which one should I buy? Both ssd cost the same.

240GB Sandisk; I have several of them. Even if the 850 EVO is a bit faster it won't be noticeable; more storage space is the name of the game here. 120GB is too small in my opinion. Especially if you want to toss a some games on there.

Definitely go with the larger drive. If this is going to be your primary drive though, you will want an even larger drive than 240gb. I have two 120gb drives in Raid 0 and I only have 20gb of space left - not a good situation for SSDs since they need additional overhead space to get the maximum performance out of them.
