What value for money 480/500/12GB SSD should I buy for gaming, specifically for my system?

Hello guys

I have been reading different opinions online(including this site) as to what is the best value for money SSD's for gaming but there are a ton of different views,brands and options(SATA 6gb/mSATA, PCIe exct), which for me is a little bit overwhelming.

I don't know the benefits and downfalls of each and would like to know what would go best with my system for gaming at a good price. I will be upgrading from an old HDD to an SSD which has to be mentioned, and I play graphics intensive games and the latest titles.

I also want something 'future proof', hence the 480gb+ options are preferable

My price bracket is about 180$ and I guess I could go a little over.

Any other cheap upgrades you guys can think of would also be appreciated.

Here is my build:

CPU : Core i5 4670k @ 4.1Ghz
Cooler : Cooler Master Seidon 120V
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 1600 8gb(2x4)
Motherboard : MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming(Ethernet Controller is dead or something btw? Another thread?)
Graphics Card : MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Power supply : Antec High Current Gamer 900W
Case : Cooler Master HAF 932 Black
OS : Win7 Home Premium 64bit

I look forward to your opinions!
Thanks

Anyone? No? Oh well... Guess I will buy the cheapest one then since it will be a huge upgrade from a normal hdd anyway. Still having sleepless nights about compatibility and to go PCI-e or not... Stuck at square one.
