Heard quite a few things about SSD's lately but currently dont own one myself, my current Acer OEM PC is age-ing (specs on image below) - everything is stock parts from when Acer built it apart from the PSU that i replaced with another generic brand) Would it be worth me getting say a 120GB SSD for use with this computer ?
Also if i should , what model ?
Kind Regards

You can still keep your HDD inside your PC as a storage, and get an SSD for your OS, you can buy any 64gb SSDs (find a cheaper one)
What RoasterMen said except I would suggest one that is 120-128GB and get good, if not best, quality to ensure reliability. You can always transfer the SSD to a new machine when you decide to upgrade in the future.
I personally prefer the Samsung 840 Pro series (I have a 128GB 840 pro in my desktop machine) although the 840 EVOs (less expensive than the Pros) have been getting good reviews.
I just received yesterday, the Samsung EVO-120GB for my laptop. It's noticeably faster than the very fast Western Digital Scorpio it replaced. Price, as of today, is $100US.
I remember what a 13GB (no typo, largest available) HDD cost 14 years ago...$200US.
Thanks for the responses, on Saturday night i sent a demand to Flubit.com (UK Company that gives you a better price than amazon with no obligation to buy) which takes up to 48 hours for a response, if not ill be buying it where its cheapest :)
Sure, as has been said, an SSD would be helpful to an aging machine. I agree to not to "cheap out" on one. I also have A Samsung 940 Pro and EVO, both 256GB. The Pro is more durable I think but the EVO can be must faster, it can use Rapid Mode with the Samsung Magician software.
You have single channel memory too I notice? It may not be worth it if you're going to upgrade since it's DDR2, but putting in a matched pair of RAM sticks would help you too.
