I bought a SSD, and it is great not having to wait long for anything to load. So personally I have a hard time using a PC without one. I also got it on sale. In the US on Newegg.com they are having SSD sales so you migh want to check it out. I got a 240 GB one for $100. SO basically if you can get a good price, with a decent amount of storage space its worth it.
