well so im planing to buy this SSD like today and need some quick help with the connection. SATA II has the same connection as SATA from the PSU and just the xfer rate is diff right? and is the red cable the same? i have 2 normal HDDs right now and dont have any extra left. So is this the right one for the SSD to connect to the mobo?

Most enthusiast are willing to buy a SSD for it's incredible read and write, but what's holding most people off is the price and capacity. Sure it has gone down a lot, but the price range at this point is still unreachable for many.
What you have in mind is like everyone else, spend the least amount and get the best one that has to offer, unfortunately you can't as the industry isn't there yet so with the budget you got, you can only get the one that's decent in size and that's 60-64GB. A 64GB SSD isn't a whole lot, but to the SSD owners, they'll find a way to justify it thus making them feel happy and satisfied with their purchase.
People buys SSD for the sake of performance not just only for the sake of booting into the OS faster but for everything they're planning to do, so that 60GB SSD is way too small and if you don't have the money to buy a bigger size, do so when you have enough. If you got $300 you can go with

For SATA cables, it's all similar, but if you got SATA III drive, use them cables that's rated for SATA III as there is a performance difference.

For your PS and 3dsmax files where are they going to be?
You fire up your program and it loads fast on a SSD, but then have work on your projects through a slow churning HDD due to not having enough space. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of your SSD?

I think if you can you should buy the ssd you wanted now
since have 400+ writes/reads would be a bit extreme for the average user

1TB (1,000GB or 1,000,000MB) would take ~3,626 seconds (60 mins) to copy at 275mbps
At 400mbps it would take ~2,500 seconds (41 mins).

So I guess if you are copying hundreds of gigabytes it's worth it. But for the average user it probably won't change that much.
