80$-100$ range SSD recommendation?

[squadrive]

So..

My PC rig is :

Intel i5 4650K OC @4.0 GHz.

MSI H87-g43 Gaming

MSI GTX 760 Hawk

8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro

2 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm..(MBR)

 

Kinda having slower when playing games like Shadow of Mordor, Blade and Soul..

and when I check in task manager it's 100% usage on HDD.. with just about 60% usage in my GTX..

and it spikes..

so I think it was caused by the HDD that bottlenecked my system..

if that's true..

what SSD should I buy at my price range? 80-100 bucks

[120GB]

Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB

Adata SP900 128GB SATA III 

Adata SP920 128GB SATA III

Crucial M550 128GB

Plextor M6S 128GB SATA3

 

[240GB]

Adata SP900 256GB SATA III

Crucial MX100 256GB

Kingfast SSD F9 256GB

Crucial M500 240GB

Sandisk SSD Ultra-II 240GB

Kingston SDD Now V300 SV300S37A/240G 240GB SATA3

PNY Performance XLR8 Series 240GB

Patriot Blaze SATA3 240GB

Team T253L3240GMC101 (L3) - 240GB

 

also I really considering about a products lifetime, warranty, and reliability..

I'm planning to do a clean install of windows after the upgrade too..

If there's a suggestion I'll really be helped..

Btw thanks for ur feedback guys..appreciate it

An ssd won't improve gaming performance (other than decreasing a few load times). 

 

I'd personally go with the 850 Evo at the moment as it's only $110, but you wouldn't notice much of a difference between that and any other high end ssd from Crucial, Corsair, Samsung, Intel, Adata, or Sandisk.

You shouldn't be paying 80-100 for a 120GB SSD, so get the M500 240GB.

well 128 gb can hold about 3 of those big budget games i would say its not really worth it  i would recommend spending a little bit more and getting atleast a 240 gb ssd 

 

heres a newegg page there over 100 dollars more expensive than what you said but 120 gb ssd is not worth it for game storage

850 Evo is probably the best on the market right now, as the gates were able to size back up due to 3D-Nand, so you get that reliability back.

Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, but any there would be a good option. It's just the one I know best!

What do you mean?

Why not pay 80-100?

so guys.. instead of finding a piece of 120gb SSD, I should find some 240gb one?

then my eyes setted to that crucial M500 240gb one..

cause it's discounted in my place..

 

Adata SP900 256GB SATA III

Crucial MX100 256GB

Kingfast SSD F9 256GB

Crucial M500 240GB

Sandisk SSD Ultra-II 240GB

Kingston SDD Now V300 SV300S37A/240G 240GB SATA3

PNY Performance XLR8 Series 240GB

Patriot Blaze SATA3 240GB

Team T253L3240GMC101 (L3) - 240GB

 

I think that's the list that have a price range around 100 bucks..

which one good?

My vote, as it usually does in component selection, goes for quality over quantity.

Me too.. but as maybach said.. It really be considered as a factor I'm buying an SSD too..

cause mainly I use my PC for gaming..

and 

 

850 Evo is probably the best on the market right now, as the gates were able to size back up due to 3D-Nand, so you get that reliability back.

as I read in this forum, 850 evo use TLC NAND.. 850 pro one use 3D NAND.. (i dont know what's the different eitherway..@__@)
