The NEX/G1 is mediocre at best, get the XFX XTR instead.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Get this SSD: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/35619/

 

The EVGA G1 is very mediocre, the BX200 is a low end SSD. The Antec HGC is very good, the UV400 is a new model of SSD, but it looks good from a review I looked at.

would be worth getting a 750 over a bx200? if its the only ssd?

Appears to be a cut-down version of the reputable 850 EVO - performance is good but endurance rating is low. If I was forced to choose between the two, I'd personally opt for the Samsung.
