Solution
You can't just keep throwing games on without removing older ones but with a 160GB I have the OS, LotRO + all expansions, BF3 + all expansions, Star Trek Online, and Neverwinter with about 10GB to spare (plus 30GB for housekeeping). A 256GB would be ideal but 180 is doable.

will 180 gb be efficient?

This rig has some slight changes.

instead of removing games could i just simply move them to my HDD
