I'm going to Microcenter later on today with my friend to purchase the parts for his PC. We still have one part left to decide, the SSD. I was thinking the 275GB Crucial MX300 for $69 would be a good deal since it's using Crucial's new 3D Nand and performs similar to the MX200 which I use and love. Any other options? Link any drive deals from any site in the US because microcenter price matches. 

Current PC: Origin Millennium- i7 5820K @4.0GHz | GTX 980Ti SLI | X99 Deluxe

the 850 evo is a great drive , and i love it  . I don't have any experience with crucial drives though.

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

850 evo is quite a bit more expensive. We almost pulled the trigger on the 750 evo but I'm glad we didn't because it's much lower quality than the 850 evo.

strange , i got my 250gb model for 70$ , and that was a year ago . The crucial drive seems like a good option, but i would stay away from the low-mid range kingston SSd's like the v300 and uv400 .

Prices for SSD's drop all the time but we want to get the build done asap so I think the MX300 will be fine. Good thing about microcenter is that it's really easy to return

Any SSD is much better than an HDD. :)

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

i5-6600, 16Gigs, ITX Corsair 250D, R9 390, 120Gig M.2 boot, 500Gig SATA SSD, no HDD
