They should work fine. They will just run at the slower SATA II speed.
But since you are only looking at getting a small 60GB - 64GB SSD, you may be interested in a SSD designed as a persistent cache drive. That way you can leave everything on your HDD and just let the SSD cache the HDD. It will make the entire HDD seem to be as fast as a SSD instead of just the few pgms you can squeeze unto a 60GB SSD.
Here is the Cache drive I have on a 2nd machine of mine: http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/readycache/
Here is a review of the drive: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/10/17/sandisk_readycache_32gb_ssd_review/1#.UeW5cG1wxJE

I went to that solution after using the 64GB SSD on the system in my sig below. I found that 64GB wasn't enough for me, but when used as a persistent cache drive to my HDD, it's like turning my entire HDD into a SSD. It takes a few sessions for the cache to learn your usage, but once it does.. zoom!
