I would suggest spending the extra 10 dollars and getting the Crucial MX500.

Where are you located? Have you tried https://www.pcpartpicker.com to find the best prices?

The issue with both the SSDs you listed is that they lack DRAM, meaning they will use your system RAM for cache. This results in a pretty big hit to performance as well as a shorter lifespan.

I live in Indonesia. I decided to get samsung 860 evo for windows and essential apps. As for games, from what I read its ok to get dram-less ssd for it. As dram ssd wont impact so much than dram less for games they said
