Intel 530 (240GB) or Samsung Evo 850 (240GB)

I got both of these SSD's as a combo deal from a local dealer . My question is which one would you use for OS ? I was planning on using one for the OS/important files and one for gaming .

I7 4790k
Asrock Z97 Extreme 6
GTX 970
2*4 G.skill ram

Use the Samsung for your OS drive. It beats the hell out of the Intel by a good margin.
