ok so i will probably be getting an ssd in my new build and i would like to know how much memory will win7,ms office and a couple of programs that i will use every day take up? i am thinking of getting a 90gb or a 120gb one,but although there isn't a big difference in these two the 120gb one goes out of my budget so i'd have to extend it somehow or delay buying a pc for some time :( the difference in price is about 20 bucks though,not so much...

Get the largest one you can afford. I recommend 120GB as a minimum. With Windows 7 x64, Office 2007, other programs and several games I have about 30GB free on my 120GB SSD. You need to remember to keep at least 20% of a SSD as free space for TRIM to function correctly.
