i am planning to buy a new SSD for window 10 for gaming really, i am not too fuss about performance as long as it has good value and lifespan. below its a list of SSD within my budget on amazon, which one should i choose?

Crucial BX100 250 GB £67.99
Crucial CT256MX £74.99
SanDisk SDSSDHP-256G-G25 Ultra PLUS £78.95
SanDisk SDSSDHII-240G-G25 Ultra II £73.90
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB £77.00
OCZ ARC100 £68.98

i am current looking at the Crucial BX100 since it is cheapest or the OCZ but then i hear about the different Controller and nand and stuff like that which is very confusing as to which one is the best or if for example the EVO worth the extra cost or not.

So which SSD would you recommend base on value and lifespan?

My pc
I5 2500K not oced
MSI GTX 970
8G ram
2TB HDD
window 7(upgrading to window 10)
 
Solution
The BX100 will be a great drive. The Samsung Evo will be a small percentage faster in sequential file reads/writes.

I have a Crucial M500/256GB with over 2 years of use and a MX100/512 for around 2 years . Both drives have performed flawlessly and still have excellent performance.
