I might fit this SSD along with the follow adapter (case has no 2.5 inch slots):

The OS along with applications will be stored on the SSD, everything else will be shoved onto my HDD's. My build is alreayd over-budget but I think it might be worth investing in an SSD.
If anybody can suggest cheaper/better drives or give me any advice it'd be appreciated!

I would recommend against a 120GB drive. Up the budget just a little, and get a 240/250GB.
Yes, a 120GB will work. But 6 months from now, you'll be wishing for the extra space.


Like this one, for £78.80. Crucial MX300 275GB
