Crucial BX200 and SanDisk SSD Plus are good options.

i was looking for a 500GB tho, but i dont wanna get a samsung or intel because of the price, i dont know what other brands are good besides OCZ thats why im asking for suggestion on other brands that are also good but yet arent expensive like intels.

Kingston is slightly cheaper, but in my opinion the best SSD brand.

Corsair SSD's are cheap, and pretty good. Same for ADATA.

 

I would only trust:

 

Intel

Samsung

Kingston

ADATA
Corsair

Sandisk

OCZ

 

Mosth others probably have terible read/write speeds

Kingston is not a great brand, they tend to bait and switch at the low end, like they did with the V300.

They're kinda junk. Slower than the Adata SP550, OCZ Trion 150, Kingston UV400, and Crucial MX300.

 

Right now, the 525GB Crucial MX300 is cheaper than the 480GB Crucial BX200, so there's no reason to get the low-end BX200.

 

I would recommend either the 480GB Adata SP550 or the 525GB Crucial MX300. The MX300 costs a little more, but it's a little faster and has a little more room.

No, they don't 'tend' to do that. The v300 is only one instance.
