I think it would be crazy to go 120 GB these days if it's more than just a system only drive. But that's my opinion. From my experience, drives are never big enough.

Yep grab the biggest you can afford at the time, then after a while you want & probably need bigger. Hopefully by then the price is not much more than the smaller drive that you originally bought.

Your on the right track going with a 256GB ssd Tim. ;)

I have 45.6GB free on my 128GB SSD but the only game on the SSD is iRacing, oh and LFS. All steam games etc are on a HDD.
If the SSD is your only drive then the advice for a 256GB drive is sound. Otherwise a 128GB SSD for the windows drive and a HDD for games and storage.
