Help choose SSD -Intel or Vortex or Samsung

[nutpuk]

I'm currently building my new system.

I've already purchased a western digital Red 2TB for storage but require an SSD for the Operating System and Applications (Games)

I can't choose between the:

Intel 520 120GB @ £105.00

OCZ Vortex 128GB @ £107

Samsung 128GB SSD 840 PRO @110

I've never had an SSD so I don't know what I'm looking for.

Please can you help?

Also would you install Windows 8 or 7 64bit? Its for games and video editing. Which do you run?

Thanks

I'd get the Samsung. I've had two 830s and a 840 Pro and they've all been fine.

My second choice would probably still be the Crucial M4, but they are getting a bit long in the tooth.

I'd pay a bit more and go for a 256gb vector. Google around and you'll see you can also get far cry 3 on one of these from ocz.
