Thanks all. I have chosen a Crucial SSD as they are cheaper. I will be phoning Halifax today. I will order this afternoon.

 

I presume it is the M550 you have gone for : http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listmodule/SSD/~M550~/list.html

Yes...

840 evo 250gb £98.79 : Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5 inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

 

M550 256gb - £121.19 inc. VAT ( direct from crucial )

 

@Arthur - I am assuming the 840 evo I linked to is the correct one ? If so then the 840 evo is cheaper and faster

It is.

The 256GB M550 is slightly cheaper elsewhere...

Well, it has been working since I built it. I managed to OC it this morning. It is soo good.

I managed to OC it this morning.

How far did you go? Higher than 4.4GHz?

 

It is soo good.

It must be nice to be able to crank up all of the settings in the games! The R9 290X is a beast of a card!

 

How noisy is your PC?

[mac_shinobi]

It is.

840 evo performs better as far as I know and is cheaper than the two links you provided for the M550

 

M550 from

 

Amazon - £107.98

 

 

Dabs - £107.98

 

 

840 evo from amazon - £99.90

 

 

£7.98 difference and that's without postage possibly ??

 

Prices must be fluctuating ......
