Appreciate any help
Reviews about qvo are not so good imo

The new ssd is going to be used mainly for gaming / browsing / chilling etc
The OS will be installed on it

Found this article and really glad I did explained the difference very well :)

Even though I don't transfer data that much, also no recording I guess I'll still go with evo I guess.

122€ for 1 TB is expensive imo not a good deal..

Might wait or purchase the 500 gb version for 66€

Evo for sure, get the most you can/need so that it doesn't become useless later on. so 1TB 870 is the best choice here. the MX500 is a good choice too if you go 2TB.

I would recommend the EVO however you're running this on your old PC so you won't feel the difference either way (except on your wallet). QVO is slightly slower and has less write durability, but these negatives will not really be felt by you as a consumer.

Given your use scenario, QVO is still a decent choice. Even though the QVO series is below the EVO series, the major affect that you'll possibly feel is during writing. Writing activities would include pasting from copy-paste, installing new games/software, etc. But you're playing games (which is reading, while saving is writing) and you're browsing. None of your activities when you browse/game will significantly impact you.

If you're very tight on your budget, go with the QVO.
