i'm planning on buying some kind of ssd for this christmas
in a local store, i can currently get ADATA, kingston and "XPG" ones (never heard of them b4 so)

• should i worry about the performance of these compared to ssds from samsung, crucial, wd, etc? or rather would i be able to notice the difference in everyday use
  
• is there a difference between the performance of the blue variant of the ADATA ssd compared to the green in everyday use and is it worth the +15usd for the performance of the blue one?
  
• i did the calculation of how much space my most used programs would take on a drive (60-70gb counting windows and tf2), should i try getting 128gb ssd or a 250gb?
  
• if i had to pick between kingston and adata, what would be the better pick or is there basically no difference in everyday use?

thanks in advance

i like mr. momocat

a follow up on my original benchmark post after having sometime and getting some courage to overclock

4 ghz - 65ºc peak

i didn't want to reboot just to bm back to stock but it was like 220 fps lol

4.5 ghz - 70ºc peak

4812 frames 19.545 seconds 246.20 fps ( 4.06 ms/f) 30.738 fps variability

both of these used the auto voltage

tried getting to 4.8ghz with both 1.250v and auto voltage and everytime i ran the stress test in the intel tuning utility it crashed so it was def not stable
might try to get to 4.8 in the future but i'm happy with my 4.5 oc atm and don't want to risk it rn with 4.8, let alone 5.0 or above
also there is a chance of my case and everything inside it being dusty and i only have an outtake fan so that might've affected my thermals

specs below

i lov BIG BOON (um)

still anime
still good pickup
