ssd boot drive or ssd storage drive

I recently got a kingston hyperx ssd the other day because of a daily deal on amazon (it was $60 US for the 120 gig model - the only one on sale unfortunately) and I couldn't just pass that up. but I haven't decided if I want to clone my hard drive since I don't actually have a windows 7 boot disc, or just use it as a regular storage drive for my slower loading games like GTA 5 and skyrim. my computer can take up to as much as 5 minutes to boot up, but I don't usually shut it down anyway. the OS is windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

and sorry if anything is misplaced here - I'm still a bit new to this forum and site

Boot drive definitely, you can also fit GTA V on it too. I have. 

Does it make a noticeable difference in loading times for GTA 5?

I get about 30 seconds difference, i load into story mode in about 20-30 secs. But it makes a huge difference using windows when you have it installed on an SSD,

alright, while other opinions would be nice, I was already considering the cloning idea but it feels like it would be wasted since i like to leave my computer on almost 24/7
