Need a decent SSD

[Insomniac Jack]

I've put together a gaming build and am currently waiting on a few more parts to arrive before I piece it together. The one thing I didn't buy yet is a SSD. I've seen many recommendations for the Samsung 850 drives. Can anyone suggest other reliable less expensive SSD's? I'm looking for at least a 500GB SSD as I plan on doing a lot of gaming and don't want to move my games back and forth between drives when I want to play something.

The MX300 525GB costs a bit less, but It's another reliable option.

I bought a few Crucials of the different MX series and had good luck with those. I also have mushkin in my media center thats still going strong. I just went off with what was on sale at the specific time. For my uses i couldn't tell a fast SSD like Samsung vs a cheaper one.
