So This is what i intent on doing

64GB SSD + 500GB Seagate Hardrive

64GB SSD For..
Windows 7 (I Need to know which one uses the least memory ultimate,Pro etc..)
4 Games ( Modern Warfare 3 , Team Fortress 2 , San Andreas , Just Cause 2 )
PhotoShop
Win 7 Updates
Extra 5GB for extra apps etc ..


everything else will be stored on the 500GB Seagate
Can you tell me how much memory each of these take up or an estimate

i am willing to spend 60 Pounds on an SSD (Doing Other Upgrades Aswell)
if you can find a good SSD which is reliable and has maximum storage capacity for 60 pounds please let me know

thanks !!!!!!

Just those 4 games , according to Steam, take up 42+GB. And that is just the base install for those. No way you could squish that into a 64GB. I wouldn't even do it on a 128.

A 128GB will handle Windows + updates + Photoshop + other applications
Games take up WAY too much space for an SSD unless you deep pockets for a 512GB or larger.

My current, recent install...Win8 Pro + MS Office, Lightroom, PaintShopPro, + a crapload of utilities = ~57GB.
NO data other than applications. Data lives elsewhere.

Applications are pretty small (with the exception of your PhotoShop).

A 64GB is very marginal in size.
If all I had was a 64GB, I'd be sweating that free space. And you don't want to go over 80-85% of capacity. Performance and lifetime will suffer.
