so im asking which ssd is good for booting windows and which one would be good for saving games on for faster loads i will be using windows 10.
"Edit" i have all 4 of these on my desk.

I would use a Samsung 850 EVO if you can.  The 840 is old.

I've used SanDisk SSD PLUS in servers, albeit with dual redundancy.  I would say failures are more likely in the SanDisk drives than the Samsung ones, and they're not as fast.

The V300 is one of the lowest performing drives you selected, I would go for a Samsung 850 EVO again.

The UV400 is a fairly generic drive, there isn't really any reason to get it.

Consider M.2 if you can, but don't stress about it.  SATA drives are still perfectly sufficient.

Out of those the 840 Evo would be best but if you are buying one brand new they've been updated with the 850evo now and it is cheaper than the old model.

so i understand that you have these 4 disks already? they're all going to perform close enough that it's essentially the same and you can all use them for booting windows fast and loading games for comparable results. the size of them will matter more, then use the bigger one to give your windows install some breathing room.
