Yes. I would look through the drives I've mentioned and see which has the best bang for buck. They all have good controllers and will provide plenty of power for your needs.

Is this SSD (link) worth it?

Or should I spend a bit more for a UV400: http://www.ncix.com/detail/kingston-v400-suv400s37-120g-120gb-sata-d2-131504.htm?promoid=1715

or an Adata SU800: http://www.ncix.com/detail/adata-ultimate-su800-128gb-3d-7d-134396.htm?promoid=1715

 

I've done some research, but I'm still pretty confused, which one should I get?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Go for the MX300, SP550, or SSD Plus from SanDisk. Skip the UV400.

What are you going to use it for?  80GB is pretty useless for a boot drive.  If you're looking for a boot drive both are good options however I would get something bigger like a 256GB or higher since you can put some frequently used, large data on the SSD for faster loading if needed..

Hey, another quick question. Should I get an 850 evo or a sandisk plus, if they were for the same amount of money?

850 PRO > MX300 or 850 EVO > SanDisk SSD Plus.
