Best 120gb SSD for a low budget build?

[elgiov]

Hey guys, I just built my low budget pc and now I feel like it's time to upgrade my HDD as well. I read that some SSD are not compatible if I have an HDD installed as well. Is this true? Could you recommend me a good low budget 120gb SSD?
Thank you for your time!

I'd personally go for 250GB. You should not have any compatibility issues. What are your system specs?

Yes, I was told the same, to go for 250GB. This is what I have on mind. What do you think?

My specs: i3 6100, Gigabyte B150M-D3H-CF, 8 GB RAM DDR4, GeForce GTX 460

Crucial MX300 also a solid budget choice. However, i think you better scratch some money for better GPU and leave an ssd for your next upgrade.

 

[elgiov]

And which GPU do you recommend (low budget as well). I am not on my best financial moment.

 

[Xemko]

Very tight budget - RX460.

 

[elgiov]

Is it actually worth the money? I heard those overheat quite a lot.

 

[Xemko]

No, new (Nvidia Maxwell, AMD Polaris architectures) GPUs are very power efficiency (less noise, less heat).
I'd scratch more money and get RX 470, sweet spot for 1080p gaming. Also, Nvidia should release their new 1050 GPU, might be a good value card as well.

So you are telling me that its better an RX460 than a GTX 750 TI?

Performance wise, indeed, RX 460 is better. RX 460 is on par with GTX 950 in DX11 games, and will be better in DX12 games.
Good review and comparison.

Difference between ASUS and Sapphire? Could you please link me an Amazon link with the one you think best suits my situation?

They will perform the same, difference is cooling solution/design. I would pick the cheaper one / your personal preference for brand.
