Which is why I said get a small one if you really want to, because you will not be installing hardly anything on it. Having 100GB SSD with only 16GB used is total idiocy. If you were installing all your games and programs on it, then you would need a couple of larger ones possibly in RAID, and that is well outside of your price range.
And for the record, the people ITT who say that without an SSD or with an HDD you will not be getting good, or only be getting slow load times; I have 2 1TB drives in my computer, running at 7200 RPM. There is not a single game installed on my computer which takes more than 10-15 seconds to have completely loaded. 10-15 being the max amount of time. CoD4 takes about 3 seconds to load maps, Skyrim takes about 7 seconds to load into a world, LoL takes about 10 seconds to load, and no other game takes longer than LoL. SSD's offer extra performance. Nothing necessary, and is only for people who have the money to spend on something that is above average quality.
