Looking to Upgrades SSD and RAM on my new Laptop

Trying to take advantage of the November online deals, from what I kind of remember from last year is that cyber Monday deals are not that good. I am not sure if my laptop supports Sata 3 I think it does.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834246623

This is the laptop I bought I liked it a lot but want to upgrade to the max the RAM and a better SSD the rest can stay. I have about 500GB of HDD so thats good enough for now.


For RAM personally I love Corsair they have never let me down when it comes to RAM or PSU.

So for $36 free shipping I can get this with coupon code http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233242



For SSD I am looking for a good fast best bang for my dollar budget :$200


This one is a maybe

$195 after Mail in Rebate 3 years warranty

or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233312


This one is $15 over my budget after mail in rebate but I like the 5 years warranty!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233343



This one is $9 over budget 3 years warranty but a bit more space

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148530

I looked at intel SSD but I am not sure if they would fit my laptop is not bulky so some of the SSD chosen above may have the same issue except for 2 that are 7mm thick.


So far I feel like the pulling the plug on the Corsair GTX for $215 5 years warranty.

Corsair makes great memory however when it comes to SSD drives, Intel is first choice, then Kingston and Crucial.
I cannot recommend any other brand and I think you will find glc will only recommend Intel due to their excellent reliability.

I'd get this ram:

You can put a standard 9.5mm thick SSD in that laptop.
