Hey, I currently own my gaming pc with those parts:

 

i7 3770k @ 4.4Ghz, cooled by an H100i

ASROCK Z77 Extreme4

16GB of Corsair Vengeance (4x4GB) @ 1600Mhz

EVGA GTX 770 SC (overclocked to +40Mhz Core clock and +220Mhz Memory clock)

Antec High Current Gamer 620W

2 Hard drives (3 TB total)

OCZ Agility 4 128GB

ASUS VG248QE 144hz Monitor

Windows 7 64bit

 

im looking to add an SSD, and im not sure which one to take:

either this one for 118$ (250GB): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3W1726/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

or this one for 120$ (128GB): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LF10L02/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

im playing mainly CSGO (ssd is crucial for fast map loads :-D) and BF3/4

the prices are the same, but how big is the performance gap ? will I see a difference in boot times ? thanks

I would recommend getting the 256GB MX100 instead of any of those. Slightly cheaper, slightly more capacity, and power loss protection.

 

Anandtech did a full review of it here. I have one as my boot drive.
