http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-2-5-Inch-SV300S37A-120G/dp/B00A1ZTZOG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1384476625&sr=8-2&keywords=Kingston+SSD

or

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-2-5-Inch-SH103S3-120G/dp/B007R67FNA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1384476625&sr=8-3&keywords=Kingston+SSD

 

Both of these are super cheap compared to the EVO and other competitors.

I am building a PC soon and was wondering which of these to get, and if these are good SSD's. Keep in mind my budget is 100$ for the SSD and i have never actually used anything other than a HDD so anything would be an improvement. 

CPU  i7 6850k 

GPU: EVA FTW3 3080

Monitor: Dell 2716DGR +  another 1440p ultra sharp.

SSD: 512GB 850 Pro | 970 Pro 500

AMP/DAC:Magni 3 + Modi  2.

Headphones: HD 6XX, Argons, HD 660S and like 9 more

The HyperX is slightly faster but it's nothing you'd notice.

This is even cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211602&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

They might go down 5-10$ but I would just get it now if you need it.

I am building my PC in December and i came across these and saw how cheap they were. I will wait, i thought they might be on sale or something.

Pretty sure a 120GB ssd will be on sale for ~$60 on Black Friday.

They are on sale. Black Friday/Cyber Monday is the mother of sales for computer components.

Not much since they're newer cards. The big savings usually come from the lower end sales. 

I can't know for sure though. I'm not a wizard.
