Looking for solid budget SSD

[thinman400]

I've got my build pretty much finished. My desired storage amount is a 120gb (or approximately that) SSD.

Here's the one that I'm currently eyeing:

Just wondering if anyone has any kind recommendations as far as SSD's go for that desired storage amount. Trying to keep this build on a tight budget.

Here's a link to my build if anyone's curious:

Any and all advice is much appreciated

With todays prices, I'd suggest a 250GB rather than a 120GB.

A 120 will work, but its a bit small. Especially if it is the only drive in the system.

You can find plenty of great deals on Amazon or Newegg for triple that storage amount for a great deal. I know you said your on a tight budget, but hold off and save slightly more money because in the end you'll be happy you did. You might not think you need a lot of storage space but you'll be surprised how fast these can fill up.

Newegg has 500gb SSD Drives for $149. Your spending the time to build a nice machine if it takes another week or so to grab an extra 50-100 bucks its well worth it in the end.

Thanks for all the input guys! Being a designated single use machine I am figuring I won't need that much storage, and if that does end up being the case, I can always add more storage later down the road. The above recommended SSD seems like an awesome value though and I definitely am being quite tempted by it.

And what is this single use?

Think I'm going to go with the 240 gb.
