What are you putting on the SSD? If its just a boot drive, I'd say nothing more than 250 GBs

Not really, not ssd's

 

Actually SSD's have dropped a lot since I bought mine a few months ago.  They are coming down.  But to answer your question it all depends on how you manage your space.  If you're like me and have a habit of deleting anything you aren't using then sure go ahead and get the 275GB.  That's plenty of space if you ask me.  However if you have a lot of programs or games either get a hard drive along with it, or get the 500GB.

If you can afford the 500GB go for it, if not get the cheaper one. Either way youll probably find yourself getting another drive down the road.

 

SSD's having been slowly lowering in price quite a bit in the past 6 months, so by the time you need to add in more storage you'll be able to get one at a decent price.

I'd go for a MX300 275GB if you'll be pairing it with a WD Blue or Black. If you're not able to do so at the moment, get a 500GB.

I'd go for the 500GB model of whatever you're looking at. I never thought I'd fill up my 250GB 840 EVO, but as it looks I'm going to go for a pair of 512GB SSD's for the next iteration of my build.
