Hey Everyone!
What SSD would you guys recommend for my i7 non RMPB? I only want to spend around $100-$140.

Also, what do I need to open this thing up?
 
Crucial M4 256 GB or Samsung 840 (non-PRO) 256 GB SSDs can be had for 150 USD, 128 GB can be had for 80 to 100 USD.

As for tools, a simple Philips #00 screwdriver should do the trick.

MacBook, MacBook Pro: Replacing the Hard Disk Drive, transferring data to the new HDD

the guide includes:
  • 0. Identify your MacBook or MacBook Pro
  • 1. Getting a new HDD
  • 2. Guides to replace the internal HDD with a newer one
  • 3. Transferring data from the old HDD to the new HDD
  • 4. Using the optical disk drive (ODD) slot for placing an SSD or HDD inside the MB/P (OPTIBAY)

Isn't he going to need a Torx T6 as well?
 
The 840 non Pro is a great drive with enough performance, I can recommend it. And yes you need Torx.
