is 60 GB ennough for windows itself? :o

It's more than enough. Although I upgraded after a while in order to install other programs (e.g. Office 2013, CAD, etc.)

It is worth installing the OS on the SSD, which is why most people do. I purchased a 60GB Kingston SSD and love it, it's not the best, but it works very well for the price. Here's a 120GB for under 60 euros: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-2-5-Inch-SV300S37A-120G/dp/B00A1ZTZOG/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1431354697&sr=1-4&keywords=SSD+SATA3

please, stay away from those Kingston V300 series. they are rubbishly-slow (compare to other ssds). shop for brands like Adata, Corsair, Crucial, Mushkin, Intel, Samsung, HyperX

 

 

Totally agree with the above. Stay away from the V300, they are known to be bad

 

which one would you guys recommend then?

My SV300 runs fine for the price... I mean, there is a SanDisk SSD for just under $60, but you won't be getting anything insanely fast with $60...

Get KingFast if you're on low budget (their 128GB is about £38/$56)

http://www.amazon.com/Kingfast-128gb-Solid-Desktop-Laptop/dp/B00MSSF0FM/

I have one, it's well made, pretty fast, and I dropped it on marble flooring once and it works perfctly

I prefer buying from brands that I know of xp I never heard of kingfast before xp

I have one of their drives and it's awesome, was totally worth it. Honestly it's surprising more people don't know about them. It's not cheap crap, I dropped it on marble flooring when I bought it (the SSD itself, not the packaging) and it still works fine, I've not noticed any sort of corruption either and it's it's only ~10GB away from full.
