For the stuff you're doing, a good video card and CPU is more important. An ssd just going to help you load faster but does not process the photo/video files much faster than a hdd.

Best price I've seen for 840 500GB (bare drive) was $300, and it still didn't convince me. I would price the kit maybe extra $5 more.

I wouldn't favor the 830 over the 840 like some do, I'd go with whichever you can find cheaper for most normal-use situations. The 840 Pro is worth a bit more for heavy-use situations or when...

Seems like a decent price/gb for such a high capacity drive. This is obviously MLC Toggle NAND, right?

+ whatever, I also agree with people saying that the 840 (not pro) is not a bad SSD at all. It is not the fastest out there, but it is cheaper and plenty quick.
