How much room do I need?

[MX-5 Dave]

I am making the jump to an SSD, and trying to determine what size I should get.

Basically here is what will be on it

Win7 64bit
WoW
Steam
--TF2
--CS:S

maybe one other game (not sure what yet, probably some military fps type though)

Office (the complete suite)
Photoshop
Premiere


Thats about it.


I gotta think a 120gb would be PLENTY of room right? Do I even need 120gb?

I wouldn't go less than a 120GB myself - they are fairly cheap now, and they give you a little room to grow. Plus they have generally better performance than the smaller drives.

I'm using a 120, and have Win 7 x64 Ultimate, Office 2010 Pro (default install), and Nero 10 HD along with various smaller programs (Winrar, Acrobat Reader, Creative Suite, AMD Catalyst) and it's about 46 GB of 119. I'm installing games on a 1 TB Samsung HD. I'm keeping files generally on my WHS. If you get the space requirements for your games you can probably figure out how much more room you'll need. I have quite a few Restore Points (and had to use one last week) and haven't done anything special to reduce OS footprint.
