Depends on your needs and budget. If you have an OS, browser, and a few key applications you'll be fine with the 120.

As all others sad...take the biggest you can afford and you will never regret it...ever. I wish I went for the 500GB one when I was buying it instead of 250GB one...because I ran out of space and now i need to install games on a HDD :(...huge disadvantage

Hi there @DONCraven!

 

It depends on your personal preference. I personally would go with the bigger one if your budget allows it because that way there will be more space for apps and games since 120GB will be enough for the OS and few games.

 

Cheers! :)

I have a 120, I have win7 and few small programs installed plus a few other minor programs and I have 27G free most of the time.  I do have a second drive for storage where I install most of my games, programs, and store data pictures work stuff.
