This what ii plan to install:

  • Arma 3 20gb
  • Photoshop 10gb
  • Windows 20gb

Grab the 240gb, sometimes it's better to have too much than too little.

200GB is affordable and i am currently using about half of a 250GB drive with only a few games. i wouldnt recommend less tha 200GB and steam also recommends 200GB

Keeping Windows at 20GB requires you to spend some time getting rid of cruft.

 

You only really need 120GB, strictly speaking, but 240GB will make it much less of a hassle. And the price difference is so small I will always recommend 240GB over 120GB.

You'd probably have to go slightly higher to get a decent 240GB SSD. I'd recommend the SK Hynix SL308 for £65.

I might just save up thanks!
