My spec first

i5 3550
8 gb ram
Asrock Z77 Pro
Crucial m4 64 Gb SSD
Samsung 1TB HDD
Radeon Hd7770 1gb

After almost 3 years , my rig is still solid as the first day, but i'm running out of space on my SSD , and i need a bigger one.
Are the M4 still reliable? My budget is around 80-100 € . I'll buy it in Italy.
Few more questions : can i clone my win 7 onto the new SSD ? I want to use the new one for OS and programs keeping the old one for some games i like to play often.

Yeah, you can either clone or use an image. Some SSDs come with cloning software, but you can use a third party tool if you want.

I can't recall problems with the M4, but they are 2 or 3 generations outdated.

I'd look at Intel or Crucial. The newer Crucial models are the MX 200 and the BX 100. The MX 100 is also probably still easy to find.
