This fits around your budget, you could get a 275GB for around £83. £80 is a tight budget, but if you're using a m.2 do remember you give up i think two sata slots.

Do you have a HDD as well? If not, you're good buying a 120GB SSD and may be able to squeeze a 1-2TB HDD in on that budget..

I currently have a 1TB installed on my machine. Do you think i would just be better off getting a 120GB for what i need to use the SSD for?

If you're planning to install a few games, on it.. get a 250+ The OS will take a little as is. But you're fine with getting a 120, but not much room for games and a OS, maybe one or two TOPS and you will max that drive out, as where you could get away with a couple more on a 250GB or more.

Ok thank you very much. So as a final verdict would the Crucial MX 300 275GB M.2 SSD be worth it then. It's on a very nice offer in the uk right now at £70. Also here is my motherboard will there be enough room for me to install it? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You'll have the room, but don't take my choice as a final verdict. Wait for 13, or one of the other more knowledgeable members to assist here.

Don't buy the m.2 MX300. It's a waste of an m.2 slot. It's not going to perform any better than the SATA alternative.

+1 for the 850 Evo as suggested multiple times.

Will go ahead and grab the 850 EVO then. Thank you all for the help.
