the SSD will make a big big difference to how your machine boots, and if you have a game installed on it, the boot-up will be uber quick. Will it play games better and effect FPS ... not really.

 

Given you should run windows off the SSD, buy a really good one, its worth it

Plus, don't forget about the "edit" function for your posts.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Yeah my budget is kinda limited. I was thinking to only put windows and important applications on the SSD for faster boot times. Is a 120gb SSD enough?

Thats what I use, two partitions of 60gbs each. Plenty of room for Windows on one and a few choice games on the other ...
