hi ,
my system configuration is
Intel core i5 3570 @ 3.40 GHz
Asus P8Z77 V-LX
WD Green 1 TB HDD @ 5400rpm ( 6 Gbps )
G SKILL 8GB Ram (2 * 4GB ) 1600 MHz
Cool Master 500 Watts PSU
Sapphire HD 7850 1 GB GDDR5 GPU
Samsung S22B370H 1080p LED
Lg DVD Drive


now my first question is which SSD should i buy ? Samsung 850 pro 256 GB or
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB ? I live in India and will buy the ssd from www.flipkart.com.
which should suit me best ?

My Motherboard has 2 SATA 3 (6 Gbps) ports. now problem is that one port will be
used by SSD and i will be left one SATA 3 port. should i connect my HDD ( which i
want to use as storage drive ) or my optical drive ? Which will be good for me in terms of
performance ? i want to know if my optical drive performance will reduce when connected
to sata 2 port ?

You cannot go wrong with either SSD. Go with which ever one fits your budget best. The Samsung Magician tool will work with either SSD too.

EDIT:
Install the other HDD into the sata3 port, especially if it is a sata3 drive. The optical drives will function pretty much the same in either sata2 or sata3 ports.

@spooky2th - OK i will buy Samsung 850 EVO ssd. yes my HDD supports SATA 3 and i will connect it to second sata 3 port and optical drive to
sata 2 port . will my optical drive give me same performance on sata 2 that it gave on sata 3 or will the speed reduce ?

Optical drives will function pretty much the same on either port. Their R/W speeds are already maxed on a sata2 port.
