Hey there JoshPC,
 
The OS usually takes up around 35GB-40GB with the updates and drivers so you should be fine. I'd check the SSD if it needs 10%-12% of free space in order to operate at optimal speeds due to the caching. Older SSD models to have this requirement while the newer ones - no so much. :)

Yeah I'll be downloading things to my hard drive. Just need the SSD for OS boot up, music and things

i use a 64gb SSD for my windows and commonly used programs such as nvidia experience and MSI afterburner for example, works like a charm:

I'm going for an 120gb one because it's only $10 more
