Hello,

I am looking for a decent SSD and I am just boggled with the choices that are out at the moment, along with some configs (supposedly) having problems.

Here is what I need (well, want!) best SSD advice pls:

My gaming Rig at the moment:
win 7-64
AMD 1090t x6 @3.8ghz stable
4gb g.gkill 1800mhz (soon to be 8gb)
1tb samsung f3/sata3
crosshair IV
air cooled
1kw power

Use the SSD for Windows and SCII game - all the other crap (music, films, etc) I'll keep on sata3/samsung.

Want performance/durability/reliability - in that order.

Read this guide:

But unsure of best performance SSD- size is irrelevant, as long as is over 120gb - ideally closer to 250gb.
 
I strongly recommend Crucial M4 256/128GB.It's one of the trouble-free SSDs you can find on the market.There are faster drivers too but I personally prefer non-Sandforce drives.
I have a M4 256GB in my rig(updated it's firmware to 009) and it's working flawlessly
