Nothing wrong with Samsung drives, they are as reliable as any other

+ 1 for Lee's suggestion, if your hardware will support, buy an SSD, one of the Samsung 840 Pro series, from memory I paid a little over $200 for 256Gb. In addition get a 1Tb or larger as a secondary drive to store your data.
You really should run either Win7 or Win 8 with SSD drives. Win 8 boot times with SSD are lightning fast.

If your hardware is too old, better off to start with a new motherboard/cpu/ram and do your sums, often it can be more cost effective to buy a notebook than a desktop these days.
