I just bought Kingston Technology 120GB Solid State Drive 2.5-inch V300 and I want to make it my boot drive. I currently have 1TB HDD. So can anyone help me do this?

Current System:
CPU- Intel i5 3450
Motherboard- MSI G45-Z77
RAM- 8GB Corsair DDR3 Vengeance
GPU- AMD HD 7850
Case- Corsair 300R
HDD- 1TB Seagate
PSU- Corsair 550W

Disconnect your HDD and install the SSD on SATA port 0/1 of your motherboard. Boot from the usb and install Windows. Reconnect the HDD. Tweak your system to get the most out of the SSD. Enjoy the speed.

You don't need to delete anything from the HDD, just make sure that it's not in the boot order. You will need to reinstall all of your programs.
