please suggest other brands of SSDs that are fairly quick and not too expensive.

Thanks

Can someone tell me if it's really worth getting an SSD? Didn't want to make a new thread just asking that lol.

I mean if you are just surfing the web listing to music and stuff it's probably not worth it. If you are editing movies, pictures..etc and want to make your comp faster in bootup time, and just overall performance then I would get one. I have a crucial m4 and have no regrets. They are amazing, reliable, and can really help with the instant speed. If you want even a faster ssd you could go with the OCZ ssd's but I heard they aren't as reliable. Anyways hope this helps

You don't want a SSD for editing, they're only small so an SSD will fill up really quickly if you use it to store edited movies and pictures.
But for an OS Drive it is amazing. I get a 12second full boot up time with my Crucial M4.
Use it for all your programs as well, you don't need to save stuff on the SSD but the programs will be open instantly if you have them on the SSD.

I'll reply to you, because I know you know your stuff about PC's ect

My boot up time isn't slow, but it isn't amazingly fast like an SSD would make it. So if I wanted an SSD just for quick boot up times/Opening programs amazingly fast what should I get (If I was to buy one)

Just a Q, would it make rendering faster too or is that just CPU/GPU ?

Crucial M4 is the best SSD on the market right now. I myself only have the 64GB one which is enough for the tasks I said it should be used for.
Windows is around 20GB and then you have 44GB for various programs.

Faster RAM and a faster CPU will increase render speeds. i7 2600k is probably best for video editing. But the i5 2500k is very good too and is a lot cheaper.

Hmm I might have to buy one when I find time to build myself a PC then, I'd buy an i5 2500k as I'v seen a lot of good reviews about them + aren't they better than i7 for Gaming?

The i7 2600k is the same as the i5 2500k except it has hyperthreading, and in certain (rare) cases, hyperthreading does slightly lower the gaming quality of the PC.
So yes, go with the i5 2500k.

I didn't mean for your personal videos and photos to be stored on the SSD. Sorry my lack of explanation, but FlyingIrishMan is right, just store your OS and apps on it and it will work wonders. I have a 126GB M4 in my iMac, and it is unbelievable. Right when I turn the computer on it boots up blazing fast then once I get to the desktop I can instantly open my apps without any or little delay.
