I haven't built a new PC in a few years and it will be another year before I build another one for at least another year, so being lazy about doing my homework.
I'd like to try out my first SSD drive. I've got a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 Mobo which "Features SATA 3Gb/s interface with RAID function". 6 SATA 3Gb/s connectors

Seems the new drives are all SATA III but I haven't kept up enough to know what that means. Does my mobo have the interface to run a SSD? If so will it run it at full speed?
If I can do it, is there any quick go-to recommendation for a SSD? I was thinking about 50gb in size, but if the price/gb ratio is good, I'd be open to a larger drive in anticipation of new PC new year or so.
Thanks in advance!
