Don't get that SSD; it has horrible performance. Get either a Crucial MX100 or Samsung 840 Evo (whichever is cheaper).

it is just faster than a hard drive that is the onlything i care about (and linus reccomendend it in his holidays buyers guide)

but thaks i know it is not the best but it is good enough i think

It's 170 read 80 write compared to 400-500 read 300-500 write. It is faster than a hard drive, but it is absolutely worth spending an extra few dollars to get a better SSD. 

Also, if you look at the discussion thread on the buyer's guide, tons of people say not to buy it as well.

I've tested mine on FOUR computers. The three in my signature plus an HP G62 laptop. All of them were around 170/80 (The SSD is half full, when it was brand new it got around 250/150) and those are the numbers people on this forum get as well. 

Ultimately it's up to you whether or not you want to spend an extra few bucks, but personally I don't recommend it.

You should have also read on tweakers that the gaming 3 does no SLI it is better to go for a gaming 5. Which shop did you order? Just ask them if you can return the items and upgrade to other ones.

Sorry but that is just a dum argument if you cant even take the time to call/email them and ask if there is the possibility of changing it fot another SD that is just lazy. If you didnt care about the speed then why even waste money on a SSD now especially if you are gonna get a bigger one later on.
