Dear everyone

I have ASUS(maximus VII ranger) motherboard.BIOS version 2012.

I am confused which SSD to buy for speed ,for game loading.

I want to install windows7 pro with all the windows update.other programs example(internet security,anti spyware,antimalware etc...)

I have a lot of games in (steam and origin websites).

Can i use program such as(advanced system care,Glarys utilities,ashampoo win optimizer)BUT NOT disk deframentation programs,as it will ruin my SSD

Which programs i should install in SSD other than windows operating,windows update and internet security updates?

The SSD i am confused with are🙁samsung 512GB evo 840,samsung 500gb 850 evo,crucial MX100 500gb,crucial MX200 512GB)the samsung PRO model are so expensive.

where can i buy cheap SSD in UK.

I hope to hear from you and from everyone please

thank you so much

Have a nice weekend all

My kindest regards

Treat the drive as you would any other drive(with the exception of defragmenting as you mentioned). With a 500gb drive, install games and anything else you want to take advantage of the fast loading. Keep video, music, pictures etc on a separate drive.
