Spec me a ssd.

[classicVin]

Hello guys,

Well i'm looking for a ssd drive around 60gb (£120 mark)

My motherbaord is sata 3 6gbs capable BUT and there is a big BUT, it only does this when i press the level up button on the motherboard. And when doing this it drops my gfx pci-e to x8 mode instead of 16x.
So here is my question,

Should i go for one of these : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-007-CR&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

And run it @sata 3 speed and lose 16x mode (would i even notice this, bearing in mind im a heavy gamer and would want every last fps)

Or would i get one of these and run it in sata 2 mode:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-008-CS&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-006-PA&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

Which bearing in mind have a higher write speed.

Or should i get this one again:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-007-CR&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

But run it in sata 2 mode, or get one of those sata 3 add on cards so it will allow me too have sata 3 + 16x pci-e ?!

My mother board is this : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-389-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1693

this too much money?

if it is, then this guide shows the corsair reactor to be the one to get for closer to £100

hmmm seems interesting,

what about http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-043-OC

For £10 less you get 10gb less but look at them speeds !

review of the 100gb version,

seems to be about the same as the vertex2

 

[classicVin]

so it doesnt live up to the quoted speeds?
