So I want to order my pc today, and I need to find an SSD thats cheap, reliable, and have excellent performance. My budget is $70 max on the SSD. I plan on upgrading my SSD in like 1-2 years, so its not something permanent per say but I want it to last me a decent period. I do mostly gaming, and will need(want) at least 240gb. Thanks in advance, cheers 😀 I also would like the pricing to be from newegg or amazon, thanks.

I suggest you buy a Samsung 850 evo 240gb and omit the hard drive.
120gb is too small these days; many things need to go on the "C" drive.
You can always add a hard drive later for bulk storage.

As to Samsung, they are reasonably priced, but not the cheapest.
You will regret "cheapest" if a ssd does not work properly.
