[someguy23232]

Can someone list me a good bang for the buck ssd. I intend to game on the machine that I will be putting it in however this ssd is solely for os so I don't need more than 120 gb of space. I live in Canada if that changes anything.

Yes, you do need more than 120GB. You'd find you're running out of space before long.

What drive? Crucial MX500, 250GB
$70

You'll be living with this drive for several years. Don't go cheap.

From experience, personal, and seeing dozens (hundreds?) of people here...a 120GB SSD is right on the edge of ToSmall.
Yes, you can make it work. But it never ends up as "only the OS".
Additionally, the better quality drives (Samsung, Crucial) don't even come in that size anymore. Their smallest is 250GB.
