Crucial MX100 series is probably the best for that.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

at the 64/120gb range, there basicly all almost the same, the performance really shows in the 512gb/1tb drives.  

get basically the best deal, or if you can get dual 64gb ssds and put them in raid 0 for some real performance!

 

2 cheap ssds: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-hard-drive-sv300s37a60g

it will cost you less then $100

 

EDIT: buy two and put them in RAID 0

It depends where you're from. Here in the UK the Crucial MX100 and the Kingston V300 are the two SDDs that provide the best price to performance. The Kingston being the cheapest of the two with 120GB at £45.18.

From my experience Kingston has always underrated it's products. For example, they may rate a drive at (just some random numbers coming up here) say 400mbp/s but it would perform at 420 or more. 

 

The people that are having slow drives probably aren't updating their drivers. My experiences with Kingston have only been positive as their products have always performed as advertised or better for me.

Crucial MX100 or 840 EVO. I'd personally get an 840 EVO.

The new revision of the v300 uses a slower NAND
