Hey, I'm building a gaming pc for a friend who is on a very tight budget and wants to use it for light gaming.

I wanted to put an ssd in his system, but as they are so expensive, can only afford a 60gb model based on his budget.

Is 60gb enough for:
Windows 7 home edition
Minecraft
Left for Dead 2

According to the storage specifications it seems it would be but I just wondered if anyone has a system with these on it to tell me the exact amount of storage they take up. Also he wants to install lots of mods for both games - I have no idea how much space these mods take up so again if anyone could give me a rough estimate of storage.

ps: obviously I will advise him to get another 60gb ssd when he can afford it to give him more breathing room, can 60gb do him for several months?
