Hello here is my specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K Ivy Bridge idle=4.00Ghz turbo=4.80Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GTX660Ti 4GB Air cooling
PSU: FSP 800W
HDD: Western Digital 2TB NAS type
MB: Asus P8Z77-V LK Ivy Bridge Z77 Chipset
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
RAM: Kingston CL9 HyperX 1600MHz 2x4GB
DVD-RW: ASUS DRW-24B5ST

And i´m looking for 240GB SSD. I have already found one KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD 240GB (SH103S3/240G) but i don´t know if it will work... I found one thing, on mobo, there are 2x SATA 3 and 4x SATA 2 connectors. And if i will connect SATA 3 to SATA 2 if something will happen... 😀 Thanks for answers !
 
Sure, the Kingston will work. For about the same money, the 240GB SanDisk Ultra II is probably a little better.

Any of the current SSDs will work with SATA3 or SATA2. No problem. Of course, the SSD is so much faster than your other drives, that you would probably want to connect it to one of the SATA3s if you have a choice. Move something else to a SATA2. Although, you won't hurt anything, either way.

I just upgraded to an SSD as my boot drive (not for data storage). Probably the biggest bang for the buck of any computer upgrade I've ever done.
