I am building my first gaming computer and I plan on getting a Samsung 120GB Pro SSD and my question is should I spend the extra on a Caviar Black or just get WD blue HD for storing music, pictures, etc.
Hard disk space - Win 7 (64-bit) = 20 GB
Hard disk space - Win 8 (64-bit) = 20 GB
A 20 GB SSD would have about 18.7 GB of storage..... and the average Windows user's boot drive is at about 100 GB within 6 months.
Go B I G !
I wont put an SSD ins a box Im building unless they put in at least 120 GB .... cuz otherwise I find it sitting on my dining room table in 6 months with a note on it saying they have no room

With only a 120GB SSD on a gaming computer, it is almost certain that a lot of your games will be installed to that hard disk. Get the more powerful Western Digital Black.
Hard drives barely effect performance in gaming, the better they are the shorter the loading times is it. I would though buy a 20GB SSD for booting up.
