PCIe or Sata

I was looking to buy an SSD for my system and was wondering what the best option for gaming is. Do I buy a Sata drive or a PCIe one?

Frame-rates in games aren't affecting by the storage drive, just the loading times are.

I sugest picking up a popular SATA SSD, you likely won't need any of the high-end PCIe based SSD's

Sata, pcie is still in very early stages and isn't worth the extra money

Thanks everyone. Can anyone recommend a drive? I was looking for around £60?

Look at the HyperX range. They have some good SSDs.
