Hi all, I'm installing an 120gb SSD in my PC today, and considering I don't know much about them, I was wondering if someone could tell me what programs should go on my SSD, and which should stay on my 1TB HDD?

The list of my main programs and game is as follows:

Firefox
avast
iTunes
Skype
Oovoo
OBS
Steam
League Of Legends
CS:GO
Microsoft Office

I know I won't be able to put much on my SSD after the OS (Win7 64-Bit), but which of the above should go on?

Thanks In Advance!

Everything but the games. See how the space is, and if there is enough, one or both of the games.
Applications, even MS Office, don't take up all that much space.

I have a 128GB, and with the OS and ALL applications on it...currently about 50GB used.

Thank you very much sir! So for iTunes put the program on the SSD and the media on the HDD?

Precisely. There is no benefit to have the music files on the SSD.
And in your Steam client, you can designate multiple alternate locations for games.
