New SSD

Ok, so I'm thinking of buying an SSD and cloning my current 500GB WD Blue over to it. The SSD would obviously have to be 500GB. I was wondering if something like the 850 Evo would be a good buy. (I hear is has some nice data migration software). I'm willing to spend around $150. Thanks.

Evo is basically one of the best SSDs right now for the price IMO.

 

That's what I would (and did) go with

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

Well I think you need to run to best buy.
