I wouldn't go with anything under a 500gb ssd as 250 and below are not very good values per GB. I mean the difference between 500 and 250 is small and the difference between 120 and 250 is even smaller.

The PC is mostly going te be used as a Homer streaming so size of the boot driver doesn't really matter
