I've been out of the loop for a while - actually never was in the loop concerning SSDs! I would really appreciate some recommendations for a SSD to go in a new HTPC I'm building.

Usage:
  • OS: Windows 7
  • Other Software: IE9, Firefox 4, XBMC, iTunes, various codecs
  • Games: 2-3 probably of racing variety
  • Stored Media: None (all streamed from NAS)
  • TV Recording: To NAS or another internal drive if that doesn't work well
Budget: ~£100 but flexible.

On paper, this one looks ok: OCZ Agility 3 60GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive

What do you guys think?
 
Does your motherboard have SATA III? If not, you can looker at the cheaper drives - Vertex 2 and Intel 320.

EDIT: Thought you'd linked to the Vertex 3 - that would be fine although you wouldn't see full speed unless you have a SATA III motherboard.
 
It's for a new build - not ordered any of the bits yet. Motherboard likely to be Z68 or H67 so should have SATA 3.
