jam_mckeown9500

I am in the process of planning my HTPC/Plex Media Server and I have selected the parts which are listed below but am stuck on which SSD to purchase.

 

Parts: (*=parts already owned)

Intel Core i3 4130*

Noctua NH-L9x65 

AsRock Z97 Fatal1ty Killer*

Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR3*

--------------SSD----------------------

Seagate NAS 2TB HDD

Seagate 2TB HDD

Gigabyte Radeon R7 260X Windforce*

Silverstone Grandia GD09 

Thermaltake Toughpower Gold 550w 80+Gold Semi-Modular Power Supply*

TP-Link WDN4800 

Silverstone Air-Penetrator 120mm Fan x2

 

This PC will be on 24/7 (As it will be media server) and will have all my games stored on it. 

 

I have looked at: 

Patriot Ignite 240GB SSD

Patriot Blast 240GB SSD

ADATA SP610 256GB SSD 

Samsung 850 EVO 240GB SSD

Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB SSD 

 

 

Any suggestions for which SSD? and Any feedback on this build?

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated
