Hi folks. My HDD is dying (I am currently on a public library computer) so I have decided to upgrade to a SSD. However after some very basic research it seems its not as simple as with HDDs and so I am completely lost.
I was looking at the Samsung 850 EVO but read all sorts of horror stories with the 840 so am a little cautious. I have even read your motherboard has to be compatible with the SSD so I am a little out of my area of knowledge. If someone could recommend a good SSD, say 250GB at a reasonable price I would greatly appreciate it. I will only really be using it for windows and games as I have a few backup HDDs for storage.
This is the site I am using to compare prices so am looking at around the $160-200 NZD mark.

My specs are:
Intel Core i5 3570 3.4 GHz Processor Socket 1155(6MB L3 Cache)
Asus P8Z77-V LK Intel Z77 ATX Ivy Bridge Socket 1155 4x DDR3 PCI-E3.0 RAID CrossFireX SLI USB3.0 SATA3 Onboard VGA/DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort
2 x Transcend 8GB DDR3-1600 Ram
Thank you.
