I generally only put single player games that have lots of loading screens on my SSD.. In Skyrim, for example, it's really really nice to be able to walk into a building/cave without needing to sit through a load screen..

 

Anything multiplayer is a waste, because you can assume that most people are loading off of a standard HDD as well, and loading into the match a few seconds earlier isn't going to affect anything.

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

Get a bigger SSD. Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD via SATA is 380 euros.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Keep it at 30GB.

Reasoning?

I usually have my top played game or two on my SSD.  After they become less and less played they get rotated down to the normal HD and newer ones step into the SSD slots.  Although in todays age it doesn't seem like loading is as massive of a deal anymore.

Corsair 900D [ASUS Sabertooth Z87] i7 4770K @ 4.6ghz [x4 4BG Corsair Dominator Platnum 2133mhz]
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (OS) [2TB  Western Digital Caviar Black (Storage)] 2x Nivida 980GTX SLI 
 
Beyerdynamic DT990's [Logitech 600] Razor Blackwiddow Ultimate [MS XBOX360 gamepad]

Out of the ones listed I would say Saints Row The Third. Single player with alot of loading screens for missions and the like. Seems like the most needed. 

FTL already loads fast, so no dice.

The last three not on the ssd current are all multiplayer so unless your often the last to load in, would not sweat it.

Sp games really. MP games usually have a countdown or some kind of synch to prevent unfair advantages.

Games that stream lots of data from the drive will benefit more then just load times, An SSD will also eliminate Texture popping, LOD switching issues and microstutter.

 

 

Games like Arma which streams tons of data from the drive continuously benefit the most.
