This Patriot Torch SE 256GB SSD is now £54.99 at Amazon.
A more established brand than a lot of cheap SSDs, I'm finding it excellent having just bought one. Impressed!

sounds stupid but what are the benefits of having an ssd over a generic HDD? I've heard speed is great but what else differs? HEAT either way :P

No noise from moving mechanical parts, I believe that they are less prone to failure and speed, speed and more speed!

Its mainly all speed, but less heat, not moving parts, more energy efficient..
once you go SSD you don't go back.

would it effect game performances too? running a game from the ssd

It depends on the game, but it might be less impactful on actual performance than you might expect. Certainly loading and everything is faster, and on really really demanding games it might reduce the chance of stutter. But it won't make most games massively better to play.
