I bought a Kingston Hyperx 120gb SSD and I'm going to do a clean install of Win 7. How much programs should I put on the ssd? The main programs I use is Chrome, Minecraft, Steam, Skype, Spotify, Sony Vegas, and Paint.net. Is the too much? Can I install more? Also do I need to install drivers such as Graphics card driver, Virus protection, printer drivers, or will I still be able to access them from my Hard drive.

Put all you want on the ssd.
Do not bother trying to micromanage with "tweaks".
The key thing to know is that a ssd will slow down and lose longevity as it nears full.
I might do something once you reach 80% or so of capacity (which will be about 110gb)
If you reach 90% windows will show your capacity in red in my computer.
Set the sata mode to AHCI in the bios to enable trim support.
You will need to reinstall drivers and programs since the registry will be moved.
