I have P9x79 pro MOBO with Intel 520 256 GB. I am looking to add something bigger for my configuration but I want the new drive to be able to boot windows. I was thinking about Samsung 950 pro but looks like my MOBO is not going to support NVMe so looks like I am stuck with SATA.
I was thinking about Samsung 850 pro 500 GB. Any suggestions?? I care more about performance than budget buy.
 
Yea as far as SATA SSD's go Samsung or Intel are the best bang for your buck.

What he says.
I personally install Samsung 850 Pro's if the user wants the quickest possible SSD for SATA, and pick a Samsung 850 EVO if they want the best bang for buck.

But it's really the limitation of SATA what's holding you back.
