How many programs are you installing?

everything under 120GB is waste of money because of GB/$. I'd go with a 250GB personally, but 120 GB is fine

IMO it's fine... I have mine as the boot drive for windows and linux, and of course you may want to keep your programs there too.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

If you're willing to spend for what that 120gb is worth its up to you.  I have a 256gb ssd and haven't filled it up yet.  If you plan to just have your os there then it's fine or you can get an 80gb ssd and save some cash.

CPU: Intel core i7 4790k     Motherboard: Msi krait edition z97      RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB      GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 8GB Gaming Black Edition     Case: Thermaltake core v71   Storage: Samsung 850 pro 256gb OS, WD green 2Tb, WD blue 500GB, WD blue 350gb, Segate barracuda 250gb      PSU: NZXT hale82 v2 700w     Cooling: Noctua nh-d15   Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
