SSD for "The Crusher" First build!
So, i think i'm finally ditching my ps4 and joining the master race! i'm trying to build "The Crusher" , so i'm pretty sure i have everything i need, but i just wanted to double check so i don't mess anything up. the only thing i'm really concerned about was the SSD. i'm not really sure what exactly i'm looking for, so i just chose one with good reviews and that was fairly cheep. so here is the entire build:
CPU Intel - Pentium G4600 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard Asus - PRIME B250M-A Micro ATX LGA1151
Memory Crucial - 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage ADATA SU800 128GB 3D-NAND 2.5 Inch SATA III THIS IS THE PART I'M WORIED ABOUT!!! This is the list the guide provides to choose from
Video Card MSI - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Case Xion - XON-350_BK ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply EVGA - 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
so like i said, i think i have everything, but i'm just not sure about the SSD. i have no idea what i'm supposed to be looking for...
any help is highly appreciated!

Really on a budget build almost any SSD is a big upgrade from a Hard Drive only build. Of course the Samsung EVO SSDs are probably the most popular, and I'm sure they're great. But I wouldn't sweat it too much.
I went with a basic Sandisk 250GB SSD and it hasn't had a single hiccup. Definitely a nice upgrade from my previous build that only sported a 7200rpm hard drive.
ok thanks! i was just worried about something bottle necking or whatever (i've no idea if memory affects anything like that, but like i said, i know nothing. this is my first build)
You have nothing to worry about with storage. Many budget builds even only have a hard drive to save on cost. Any SSD is a welcomed improvement over those things
