would like to swap out its 500gb 5400rpm with a ssd,
any suggestion which brand/model to buy in terms of price/performance,

I tend to have a bias towards Samsung 850 EVO SSD

Hi, I would like to build a PC, things I need are CPU, motherboard and 4GB/8GB DDR4 RAM,
currently comparing Intel G4560 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 pathway that I can probably save 250 bucks difference,
gonna use for web browsing, general word/excel and The SIMS,
re-using SSD, casing and power supply.

AMD Ryzen 1200 has 4 cores, G4560 has only 2. Definitely Ryzen 3 1200 will blow G4560 away. On top of that, AMD says the motherboard will be supported till at least 2020. G4560 is dead if you cant find Kaby Lake CPUs for upgrade if Intel no longers manufactures it. Coffee Lake is not compatible with G4560 motherboard chipsets.

AMD Ryzen 3 1200 - 519
Asrock AB350M Pro4 - 399
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 - 395

Thanks for the reply, will probably fund a bit more for Ryzen 3 as I need a dedicated gc to pair with it, currently running old GT220.
