Can't buy via Amazon. Doesn't accept Paypal.

Then wait for a sale at any place that does accept PayPal.

I strongly recommend you not buy the cheapest SSD. At least look carefully at NEWEGG customer feedback. Lots of cheaper SSD's are known to come DOA are die early (probably a controller issue or just manufacturing quality control, not a memory wearout issue).

These are about $80 to $95. Again, for the sake of $20 or so don't cheap out. There's a reason the very cheapest SSD's cost that much.

Samsung makes very good SSD's. Just filter pcpartpicker by customer feedback or spend time looking around.
