I currently have a samsung 850 evo 120gb but it is running a but short on space. I want to go for a samsung 860 evo 250gb, but it is very expensive in my country, and if I get it shipped the price with shipping + tax is almost the same as a kingston hyperx fury 240gb I can get here. Is the samsung really better or should I just go for the kinston that I can buy here?

Thank you

Samsung is actually kind of like the best of the best. Longest warranty, fastest performance (by a VERY negligible margin) and stuff. Go for whatever. It doesnt matter. Though if you find like a larger ssd for almost the same price. Go for that one instead.

Cause I also use lots of programs that take real long to load for work and I like to have them on an SSD to save time. I have a 2TB HHD for files and games
