your welcome and for that range i would suggest this:http://pcpartpicker.com/product/XK4NnQ/sandisk-internal-hard-drive-sd8sbat256g1122

That looks nice! If you don't mind me asking what brands of SSD you find to the most reliable? In case i have to go cheaper to like 50ish I would love to know which brand/company is good for the money.

the sandisk has very low IOPS, main things u want to look for on an OS SSD are IOPS and 4k read/writes

 

that is why i would have recommended the PNY CS1311 it has high IOPS at the same price range

That ones like 40 dollars on ebay for 120 gbs that amazing! What does IOPS mean? Also 4K read/writes? I'm sure its not about 4k graphics like i intially thought lmao.

IOPS: Input/Output Operations Per Second -  is a performance measurement used to characterize computer storage devices like hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and storage area networks (SAN)

 

4K random read is a disk access pattern whereby small (4K) blocks of data are read from random locations on the surface of the device being tested  (so i other words since the OS has a lot of smaller files it can read or write them faster)
