So here is the plan I dual boot Mac and Windows so I think I'm gonna use my existing 500g that I use for everything now just for Mac and buy a 2TB barracuda for Windows. I'm also getting two cheaper SSDs (one for windows and one for Mac) instead of getting a more expensive one and dealing with all the hackintosh hissy fit.

Here's the selection

I'm open to suggestions but basically I wanna know what's the best from this list

@Overkilled Sandisk SSD Plus is good for the price, as is the HyperX Fury, but I personally recommend the Samsung 850 EVO. I have one, it's very reliable, fast (my system boots in less than 9 seconds) and at a pretty good price. I'd get that if you can.

Project White Lightning (My ITX Gaming PC): Core i5-4690K | CRYORIG H5 Ultimate | ASUS Maximus VII Impact | HyperX Savage 2x8GB DDR3 | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB | WD Black 1TB | Sapphire RX 480 8GB NITRO+ OC | Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX | Corsair AX760 | LG 29UM67 | CM Storm Quickfire Ultimate | Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum | HyperX Cloud II | Logitech Z333

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

 

Other systems I've built:

Core i3-6100 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI H110M ECO | Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB DDR4  | ADATA SP550 120GB | Seagate 500GB | EVGA ACX 2.0 GTX 1050 Ti | Fractal Design Core 1500 | Corsair CX450M

Core i5-4590 | Intel Stock Cooler | Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI | HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3 | Seagate 500GB | Intel Integrated HD Graphics | Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 | be quiet! Pure Power L8 350W

 

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Well if the budget fits... I'm getting a HDD and a GPU as well hopefully so I don't have alot of headroom
