Samsung NP550P5C and Samsung 830 SSD?

hey guys,

I'm finally upgrading from my 4 years old hp laptop (2.0 GHz dual core, 9200GS :D  )

I came across this Samsung laptop: http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/47391-np550p5c-s02a...

I believe that the Quad Core i7 3610QM and a GT650M should be a sizable upgrade.

and to sweeten the deal I thought I should treat my self with an SSD, and instantly thought of the 830 (both Samsung :D ).

However it seems the 830 write speed is only 400 MB/s, while i've seen others well over 500 (SanDisk Extreme is faster and $40 cheaper for example)

avaliable SSDs I'm choosing from: http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/40/800

any opinions are greatly appreciated, even about the laptop itself :D 
I would also highly appreciate any advice/tutorials about how can I get the new SSD up and running (software wise)

Thanks and Cheers.
