I've got a 120GB Kingston SSD and it's fine. They make a lot of quality stuff, it should really come down to the read and write speeds and the price when it comes to which SSD to buy though.

the v300 from kingston is on the slow end of ssds, i would avoid it 

 

one of the best bang for buck ssds is the samsung 850 evo but the crucial bx100 is also pretty good

 

1 last thing i would suggest would be a 240+ gb ssd as 120 doesnt last very long

Yes they are just don't buy the V300 like I did... Get the Samsung, Its also 240gb... Its going for 75$ atm on US Newegg with a promo code.

Been using the Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB SSD for about a year now and I got no complaints so far.

850 EVO or BX100, although get a 250 gb drive because you will regret getting a small SSD, trust me

yes the 3K ssd is good, but more expensive than the 850 evo and bx100?

I personally would go for a 240/256 GB or higher SSD. But maybe you have a low budget. Anyway, Samsung EVO series, Mushkin Chronos G2 and Crucial MX200 for example are some good SSD's to consider buying. if you want a SSD with a much higher speed? Then you could go for a Samsung SM951 (NVMe) or Kingston Hyper X Predator SSD. They're much faster but also more expensive. The Samsung SSD is an M.2 (3.0) and the Kingston one is M.2 (2.0) so you need to find out which one is compatible with your motherboard if you think of buying one of them.

Yeah I have 5-10GBs free on my 120GB SSD, you should probably get a 240GB one at least.
