Yes but would like some space to install a few games on it as well. So I really want a 240GB SSD can't afford something bigger at the moment.
Most games really aren't going to benefit massively from being on an SSD. I wouldn't worry about throwing games on it, especially since you're on a tight budget, or maybe just throw a game that would benefit the most (GTA V, for example).
Question. I am honestly on a very tight budget, I know it sounds bad I don't wanna spend above $50 on a computer part but do you think you can find some good SSD choices on eBay. New Only please? Maybe there's some cheaper deals on there.
I scanned through eBay a little bit, but this is the best I could find, same price on eBay:

The MX500 is the only drive below your $55 price range that would
slightly outperform the SU800/ SX850.
If you can wait, the prices will likely keep dropping. SSD prices are at an all time low; now is a good time to buy. But in your price range, unless a crazy deal comes along, the MX500, SU800, and SX850 will be your absolute best choices.
If any one of those drives or a better drive comes up cheaper/ on sale, I'll let you know if I see it.
