I can't afford a 256gb SSD. I was thinking about buying a 32gb SSD just for my os. Will it be worth it? I plan to game, do hw, and just web surf on the PC. Lmk what you think.

In my opinion the reply is a big yes, and ssd makes windows and apps installed so zippy and fast, that they load before i've let go of the second mouse click.
A cheap ssd will makes your whole pc seem very responsive and i think it's one on the best upgrades you can get for your pc.
I and my mates swear by the crucial m4 range and are durable and very reliable, just remember to always update ssd firmware from the respective site.
I would also get a 64gb as for windows and apps etc, 32gb might be tad small.

No problem, trust me you will never go back to a non ssd pc once you've used one in your system.
And don't let people say that there unreliable, i've been running my crucial m4 128gb for 2 years now with very heavy usage and still performs as well as the day i got it.

Massive yes for quickness however if I were you I would wait a little and save some cash.

I have a 120gb ssd and I currently have 60GB left as Windows 7 with updates takes up around 30GB and then with programs.

If you can try and get atleast a 60GB SSD and if you can push around £60 you can get a 120gb one which I would say is a must.

No problem if you are looking for a good price one try Aria , Ebuyer places like that. You can get some SSD's with lower speeds such as Read 400 and write 250 which you won't notice a difference on the 500+ write and read ssd's for around £50-70 for a 120gb
