SSD Choice

What is the best SSD for the OS and a few important programs. I'm looking for under $110 AUD (can go a bit over, but as cheap as possible please) and mainly looking from this site: Umart

 

My Choices/thoughts at the moment:

 

Intel 530 series 120 GB - $92

 

Samsung 850 120 GB - $109

 

Kingston HyperX 120 GB - $99

 

So, any thoughts on which one is best and any other good choices for my price range, it doesn't need to be too big, I only need it for OS and other important programs (can anyone tell me which ones have huge benefits from SSD's?) (games will be on HDD).

 

Thanks, Destroyer8769

 

(Sorry if this is somewhat a re-post, but I need some answers for my lower budget as well as some of the other questions answered.)

Hey destroyer8769,
 
Pretty much all SSDs would meet your needs speed-wise as they provide great speed boost compared to any HDD. I would suggest you go with the most reputable brand, longest warranty or the one with the best reviews. :)
