In the past i would definitely recommend a V300, great value for the money, infact i have one myself, but now that they changed the Nand flash type to a much cheaper and less reliable type, its not nearly as fast or reliable, so i would reccomend looking elsewhere. Samsungs always a good bet as others have said

AMD FX 8350 8-Core CPU (Stock 4GHz) | Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 | (Rev. 4.0) | 8GB 1600MHz HyperX Fury | AMD R9 270 (MSI Gaming OC Edition) | NZXT H440 (White) | Kingston 120GB SSDnow V300 | Seagate Barracuda 1TB (7200 RPM) | Corsair RM750m 750w Fully Modular Power Supply

Dell 23.6-Inch 1080p 60hz IPS Display | Corsair H100i AIO Liquid Cooler | Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard | Logitech G502 Proteus Core | iSymphony Wireless Stereo Speakers | Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Go with an 850 evo. Don't get the ssd now or the 840 evo. The v300 uses crap nand. Bad ssd!!
