Help with SSD please.

Hello everyone, I am pretty new in this forum.
I own a Dell xps 730
And I want to upgrade to a SSD from my old HDD, but since my motherboard does not have sata 3 how would I do that?
Is it worth switching in my case?
Which ssd would you recommend I was looking at Samsung 500gb.

My specs:
Dell xps 730
Core i7 920
16gb ram
500gb HDD
Nvidia 660ti
Chipset x58

SSD drives are backward compatible, you should have no problems installing new SSD drive on SATA2

Same as above. SATA 2 will work with SATA 3. Just at 1.5gbps max. But in reality there is not a lot of difference.

I would recommend the 850 EVO it is the best SSD on the market consumer wise today.
