I am stuck between a few different options, the Hyperx Fury 120GB, the Silicon Power S60 120GB, the kingston ssdnow v300 120gb or the SanDisk ultra 120gb. All 4 are currently around the same price range.

They released some sort of SSD list for this motherboard and I don't know if that should have an impact on my choices. Which you can find here. Called New_SSD_List and it was released in June 30th this year.

That list has the Hyperx Fury on it but it's the 240gb version. So I'm not sure If I should follow that list or at least use the same model but a 120gb version? Thanks for any advice.

SSD's are like hard drives. As long as the size limit doesn't exceed what the motherboard can handle you are good. I have installed SSD's on older motherboards that this without issue. It only has SATA II or 3.0Gbps so it won't be as fast. You would have to buy a SATA III addin card if you wanted full speed but either way you will see a good jump in performance.
