i mean frys does have 850 evos they just cost like 109 bucks for a 240gb one and adding tax and a warranty that's a bit too pricey.

It is a good, middle of the road SSD.  It will do what you need to do and fairly speedy, tho as you might imagine it won't be the best of the best.

Buy a prepaid card. like one of these. They come in many amounts like they have cars you can do custom amounts. They will usually say $25-$500 on them. This one is just a $25 one. And only buy from trusted online retailers like Newegg, Amazon, Frys, Microcenter, NCIX ect...
