Need help with SSD

Yo Lanpeople and other nerds who were too cool to attend,

I am planning to buy myself a nice fast SSD to install games or programs there to make them run faster. I was thinking about 250GB and about 100€. I don't want this small chip thingies that you put on your motherboard.

Since I have no clue about Hard Drives in general, I need your help!

My specs:
CPU: Intel Code i5 3570 @3,40 GHz
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3 by Crucial Technology with PC3-12800H (800 MHz)
Mainboard: ASRock H61M-DGS
GFX: Radeon RX 480 Graphics 8gb
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Hard Drive: 1TB

nothing really must-to know about hard drives rather then it doesnt really make much of a diff other then ssd lasting longer and regarding speed pointless IMO if you dont have a stupid fast net (for an average consumer today)

pick one or two :) hf

Crucial MX300 275GB good and cheap. You won't notice the difference between expensive ones and cheap ones anyway.
I don't have the MX300, but I have the Crucial m4, Crucial MX00, Samsung 830, Samsung Samsung SM843T and the Intel X25-M G2 80GB(from 2009) when I use them I can't really tell the difference, only a little bit with the old G2. Funny thing that G2 is still rocking like hell with about 7TB written, still 100% condition.

So like I said before, you should focus on as much SSD storage as possible instead of speed. If the MX300 is cheaper than the Samsung one, why would you buy the Samsung than? You would not notice it. Even if you compare NVME SSD to SATA SSD you won't notice much difference. The Samsung 850 Evo and the Crucial MX300 have both TLC NAND, so no difference in lifetime. MLC and SLC NAND are better, but more expensive and not needed for consumer use-cases.

You're saying that like my 24k gold-plated SATA cables were a waste of money.

My Bitspower Silver Shiny fittings for my watercooling are not a waste of money either, bling-bling is worth it.

Samsung Pro 1Tb m.2 should be just fine
Ye, I'll buy it from the seller across the street for 100€. He used to find a lot of cool stuff which dropped from the truck.
