so my boot SSD went and screwed itself, it hasent compleatly failed yet but thats not going to be long so im on my crap laptop now because i dont want to hurt it more. so i need a replacement right now so i can get back to playing games and stuff, but i have shit loads of tabs open in chrome that i cant remember all of them and i have some other things on it too that i need to get out too so im thinking of cloaning it even tho i know thats a super bad idea because it can fail a lot of times but i dont know of another good way to do it to be honest. if anyone has any idea on how to do it whithout cloning please tell me :) anyway i need to buy a new SSD and this one shouldent be a freaking 60gb one, i want atleast 120GB preferably more so what are my options on a budget at a max of $60? thanks for any help and any replies :D

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Download an iso off of the windows website on a flashdrive.  A tool creates it for you called the windows media creation tool. You need to boot off of it in the bios and do a fresh install of windows if you don't want to clone it.

Unsure what power supply to pick?
