Building my first PC and I've been unable to really find out what a good size for an SSD would be for booting my PC and windows. 120 or 250? Most likely a Samsung 840 EVO.

Is 120 enough to do that easily?
 
250Gb is the sweet spot.
It mainly depends on your usage.
You eventually may need another hard drive if you have a lot of media and games installed.
Personally I can manage with a 120GB SSD and a 500GB right now but I probably will add another hard drive later on.
