The 1TB 870 Evo and MX500 are under that price range according to PCPartPicker for the UK, snag either of those. Both good drives, we use a bunch of 860s and 870s at work + a few MX500s, I and my dad have both used the MX500s in our laptops/PCs at home without any issues.

870 EVO is the tits for mass storage. I'd generally avoid it as an OS drive. Not to say that I haven't deployed them in that function, but never for my prime box
