best ssd for the buck

What's the best budget ssd that's fast? I have a really slow 5400 rpm hd its killing me how slow it is. I have been looking around and found 3 decide ssds but before I buy one I decided to get more information. I dont know if I can post links so ill post the name of them from Amazon im looking for a 120 because I want me os and league of legends ADATA Premier SP550 120GB, PNY CS1311 120GB, and Samsung 750 EVO - 120GB. The samsung is what most people will probably say and could easily be the best but its a few models older I assume the price is the most since its the only model at such a low capacity. Any help is gratefully appreciated. I have seen read and write scores the seq and the iop random read and writes the whole thing but i'd like a little bit of information. I simply don't care about write speed I doubt ill ever fill it past like 50 gb I haven't with my 240 gb hd its still at 200 free. Pretty much tell me what you know which ones random read is faster? do you own one? tell me about it. just a basic thread about a good starter ssd for os and small games.

Really any SSD will be an improvement over a 5400 RPM mechanical drive. Get one with a good warranty and the storage you need at the cheapest price, can't really go wrong there.

I ended up going for the adata and for 40$ I couldn't be happier my really bad computer is not super fast and even though it's stuck at sata2 it's fast I can't wait until I build my computer and get sata3 but I might look around at m.2 if it isn't too much as of right now this thread is closed idk how to close it though
