Any difference for GAMING??

A SSD will slow down as it nears 90% full.
30gb is simply too small, even just for the OS.
60gb would be minimum.

For gaming, I would suggest 120gb. That will hold the os and several games. The main benefit from gaming would be faster level loads and checkpoints.

If you only play a couple games at a time, and/or have few applications, you might get by for a while with 64GB, but you will soon wish you had bought a bigger one. Depending on how many programs (including games) you'd like to have on it, I recommend a minimum of 80GB if you want a SSD, and realistically 120GB-128GB is a lot more comfortable. Otherwise, you will frequently need to shuffle applications around, which is a bigger waste of time than what you might be saving with the SSD in the first place.
