Hello,

I am thinking about buying a 120GB SSD (Kingston SSDNow V300 SV300S37A/120G, 120 GB SSD) would this be a good one for 60 euros?

I have a 500GB HDD as of right now, windows 7 is installed on that drive.
Now i want to have windows 7 on the SSD, along with maybe a few games and editing programs like maya that require a lot of texture loading and that kind of stuff.

I also want to keep my files on the HDD

what i'm thinking is:

Take HDD out of computer.
Put SSD in, boot up and install windows 7 on SSD.
Put HDD back in along with SSD.
Configure BIOS to boot from SSD as first boot option
open HDD drive in computer and delete the windows files by hand (is that even possible)

would this keep the rest of my files on my HDD, and my OS on my SSD?
And would i be able to install some games on the SSD aswell?

Is what i'm wanting to do possible, or are there other ways to do it?

Thanks for any help in advance.
 
Solution
I wouldn't choose Kingston SSDNow V300. Their SSD aren't good anymore since they use cheap flash memory.
Go for Crucial MX100 or Samsung 840 EVO if you have the budget.
