If you don't mind using SATA 2 based SSDs as they're still very good on performance, I will recommend the Kingston V100 series. They've always been very reliable. They've just released the V200 series in line up of the new SATA 3 standard. It's backwards compatible with SATA 2 motherboards so all you'll see is SATA 2 limits in performance. Alternatives such as the Crucial and Mushkin drives are also very good and you'll definitely be happy with your spendings.

The Corsair Force SSDs are supposed to be good also.

If its any help my motherboard is asrock h67m-itx has

2 x SATA 6Gb/s

2 x SATA 3Gb/s

1 x eSATA 3Gb/s

RAID 0,1,5,10 Support

Yep, I have the Corsair force 3 and it is really good.

I keep forgetting about Corsair....haha.

Yup, the x2 SATA 3 ports will be more than enough for a single SSD or if you choose to use RAID in the future.

My friend bought a Corsair Force 3 60Gb SSD to use with smart response in his Z68 system.

It is unbeleivably fast compared to normal hard drives.

Those V200's are really cheap.

Oh yeah, they're priced similarly to the V100s as they're the next line up as the replacements. It's a great consideration when looking for decent SSDs.
