Still haven't transitioned from my old HDD. I'm looking to getting an SSD, but not sure about compatibility with my old mobo. I have a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5. From what I've seen, M.2 isn't really an option for me. Even if I try to get the right adaptors and make it work, it seem like more of a hassle. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Performance should be for gaming. 500GB preferred. I'll most likely be using my 1TB HDD as storage still, so SSD is for Windows and select games.
CPU: i7 920
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5
RAM: Corsair CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9 Vengeance 12GB
GPU: Radeon RX 580 (recently upgraded to this)
PSU: CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W
HDD: WD Black 1TB

- What's the best recommendation for an SSD?
- What should I be looking at in terms of specs or compatibility issues?
