Hey guys, I'm currently building a gaming rig and now I'm at the point of deciding on storage. I've decided to skip the HDD altogether and buy just a SSD for all my needs. I see a few people run a small SSD for their OS and some files and then a large HDD. I'm mainly going to be playing games such as WoW, League, BF, Alien and whatever might be down the road.
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE500BW 2.5" 500GB SATA III TLC SSD.

What do you guys think? Any other suggestions are welcome as well, thanks!

I appreciate it, Thaisnang,
. Thanks for the feedback and research. It'll be easier to find a more solid SSD now between those few "top" brands.I would avoid Kingston. Not to be trusted!

I agree that Samsung, Crucial and Intel are good, as is Plextor.
