What do you mean by OEM? What's your use case?

120GB is good but might want to get 240GB I found I easily filled up the 120GB SSD fast

Wow this was old as heck, Need to update this signature!

I did a 32GB M.2 drive when they just started coming out and man was it a pain, even with moving my documents and such to the 240Gb SSD just was horrible.

 

I now would only advise a 240gb as the min, as 120 even if you been as anal as I was with the 32Gb it just fills up so fast.

Ok so a 240 is the best option, 120gb will be cutting it close. And my case is a fractal case design (posted it up in 'show off your rig')

When asked what is your use case, they didn't mean what computer case you have they mean what will you be using this computer for.

I'd go for a MX300 275GB or larger since you have an HDD for games.

That or SATA. Up to you. If you're going for M.2, I'd choose the largest you can afford.
