Well the only ssds that beat the samsung 850s in performance almost all are pcie based and much more expensive.

I can defintely recomend the 850 evos. There is also the 850 pro of course, but it costs a lot more and performs nearly identical. It's theoretically more reliable but both are reliable enough to make that irrelevant cost wise.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
I would be floored if you noticed the difference between those two drives without a benchmark... get whatever is cheaper as they are both solid drives. You can figure out price /GB by doing the math at the place you are going to get it from.

Here is a review comparing them from OCF: http://www.overclockers.com/kingston-hyperx-savage-240gb-ssd-review/

EDIT: Why was this not asked in your already existing build thread??? Its best to keep related/same items in one thread so you have all the info at your finger tips and duplicitive advice from the volunteers that help is not handed out across multiple threads. :)
