What's a quality, yet cheap SSD drive?

[NathanWilker]

Hello everyone I just have a simple question for you all today. I need to know what a good, yet cheap SSD drive is. The catch? It has to be compatible with my motherboard, which you can find a link to below. I preferably want this SSD drive to be under $200 and I want it so that I can run my games on the SSD drive on one of my monitors, while watching netflix on the other or browsing the internet.

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1963429&CatId=7244

Please reply to this thread as quickly as possibly!

Again we are looking for:

- An SSD card
- Under $200
- Compatible with my Motherboard

Thanks!
