I need a cheap, reliable SSD just for my OS and maybe a programme or two.

What does everyone suggest for this?

Maximum budget is around £40 so if anyone could suggest a decent one for that price it would be appreciated.

Thanks

That's what I recommend, yes.
For an SSD, if you try to have only the OS on it, you are wasting a lot of the benefit of the SSD.
So you want the OS + applications. My 120GB has the OS, plus all applications apart from games. Currently ~70GB used.

A 64GB SSD is not that much cheaper, it is slightly slower, and you would be constantly messing with free space on it. A 64GB can work, but for the price of a take out dinner for two, you could have a 120GB and not worry so much about the space issue.
