Right, to better my rig i either need to sli or get a better ssd, atm i have some shit sandisk SSD which i bought due to some amazing deal something like £ 40 for 120gb. My current storage is 120gb ssd boot drive + bf4, 2tb mass storage, 500gb additional storage, 2tb external just for lolz. Im thinking of getting a ssd 300+gb anyone recommend some SSDs dont just go for a 1tb if there is better priced solution.

 

I have around 600gb of games and will do a clean install of windows on my 120gb boot just to get it going nicely. Il do the usual and split graphic intensive games onto SSD other games and programs on HDD and OS on boot drive. 

 

As for a price.  £300 max

Evo has that problem with immensely slowing down over time.

Crucial MX100.

 

 

MX100 is a solid SSD, great price and solid performance. I don't think you are going to find anything else.  I would just pull the trigger on it.

 

MX100 bought looking forward to me clean install !
