Possibly Dying SSD

So today my friend and I had upgraded my GPU to a gtx 970, we also added a new hard drive. After installing everything we booted up the computer and got the message, "Please select a boot device." This happened many times upon restarting the computer. It would only work seemingly when it wanted to, the sata cable and power cable were all plugged in correctly. I have already made a back-up on my HDD. Are there any suggestions other than a dying SSD?

plug the SSD to another working PC

 

and use CrystalDiskInfo to get the SMART status

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Another thing, make sure the SSD's SATA cable is plugged into the mobo, perhaps try a different port on the mobo as well.
