[yjm2k]

Hey guys! Can you guys recommend me a cheap SSD with great quality(except Samsung Evo series because it is really expensive in my area)?

sandisk not kingston v300s

The SanDisk Ultra II is a pretty good value. Got one in my HTPC.
On the other hand, if you're willing to pay a little (a lot) more, the Samsung 850s look pretty sweet.

You pay for what you get, I switched from HyperX to Samsung just for better reliability.

That's what I'd do.

That's what I'd do.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nvNgvK this is going to be my future rig. Will 520W PSU be suitable??

You should probably step up that psu a little bit. 520 would be a little on the light side.

Hmm... around 600W+?

Adata SP550.

Wow! those are really cheap. Is it reliable??

Yes.  There is a chance it will fail, but no more than an EVO.  If it works (odds are that it will), you will love it.

Ah man... I'd rather get a Samsung EVO  ;-;

lol... look... I have been using a Corsair Force 3 240GB SSD (worse than the SP550 in terms of reliability) for over two years now.  The SP550 is fast, the EVO is only about 5% faster.

That rig would run on a 450W PSU... 520W is fine.
