I hear you need around 64GB for a Win7 boot disk so I am trying to find the cheapest SSD just for my OS and it must have SATA3. Any suggestions?

Pcparticker has this marked as cheapest: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007ZWLRSU/?tag=pcp0f-21

I5 4670k | 7870 Tahiti LE | 1600MHz 2x4GB

Samsung 840 series give you the best bang for the buck.

PC Specs:  2x GTX 550 ti in SLI - Intel i7 2600k @ 3.4Ghz - Thermaltake Overseer Case - 8 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram - 1TB Harddrive - 500 Watt PSU that came with my old prebuilt pc lawl -  ASUS P8P67 EVO

Peripherals:  Razer Deathadder Black Edition - Razer Arctosa Keyboard - Logitech G53 Headset

Cool song of the day: Chief Keef - Round da Rosey    Changed my profile pic again...                                        Mountain Dew is good. So are video games and music. Oh and unicorns.

That sandisk ssd has very low random read speeds and will be slower compared to higher tiered ssds.

Spend a bit more and get a Samsung 840 120GB instead.

Personally go with the Samsung 840 120gb also because they make their own chips which makes this SSD have great quality control.
