i'm confused , have bunch of questions needed answered , appreciate help, because i'm kinda helpless...

1. how sure can replacing hdd new ssd solve problem?

2 . saying replacement solve it, enough format ssd mac os extended (journaled) , make bootable usb yosemite installation install from? or there else need do?

3. if had choose between samsung 850 evo or crucial bx100 (both 500gb editions) go mbp mine?
