    Help me pick an ssd $90 budget

    Greetings all!

    I am looking to get an SSD and finally catch up to 2012! I have about a $90 budget and can swing up to $100 as long as its just tax pushing it to that, not 99.99. I was thinking a 90, 120 or 128. I would put Windows on there and Guild Wars 2 for sure and maybe move my other couple of games to it as well. Are those overkill and would 64gb be better?

    I am semi-computer literate, but the descriptions kind of fly over my head and there are a ton of choices. Right now all I am rocking is an old 250gb hitatchi sata hdd, and its right around 1/2 full.

    AMD fx4170
    MSI 970A-G46
    Antec Earthwatts 650
    Sapphire 7950 1000/1375
    Cooler Master hyper 212 evo
    8gb GSkill Ripjaws
    Antec Illusion Black 300
    Win 7 64bit home

    Thanks for reading and thanks for the suggestions!

    If you want a good one(brand) that is bigger then 64GB's I don't think you can go any less then $100. Just for the OS and one game a 64GB should be more then enough, as long as everything else goes on the HDD.

    Crucial ghas two series now, the highest performance m4 series and the new V4 series that's about half the performance of the M4s but at a reduced price. Even the V4 is far faster than a hard disk. If you need more than 64g space, check out the 128g V4: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspe...LE=CT128V4SSD2

    The Samsung 830 128Gb is $99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147163 . This would be first choice followed closely by a Crucial M4
