Finally making the order!!!!!

60gb is plenty for win7 and about 5 decent games, so unless your into playing every single game at once, it is plenty.

and if you don't know why a ssd is worth £100, then you have never used or owned one.

I would suggest swapping the monitor to this. Supposedly the LED backlight implementation used by LG is not great - and the BenQ is better. As a bonus it is a bit cheaper and a bit bigger.

However, if you are using it a lot for photoshop - you may want to go with an IPS monitor instead of a TN (here is an explanation of the difference). This one is great and this one is a bit bigger. Here is a review.

I have heard just the opposite, and that the BenQ has a poor picture compared to the LG and i don't need an IPS monitor
 
Lol, ok then. As for the BenQ vs LG it will be pretty close between the two as they are both TN panels with LED backlights. Individuals may find one better than the other, but it won't be night and day. Either way, MANY peopel of these forums are very happy with the BenQ and it is a bit bigger and cheaper than the LG, which is a plus.

As for IPS, it really depend on how much colour accurate work you do in photoshop. If it isn't much then you may as well save some money on a cheaper TN screen.

I've seen some pictures and reviews that say the Benq while worth the money has a very poor picture when gaming.

No, it's not.

Windows 7 + applications = +- 30/40gb (some free space included)
60 - 35gb = 25gb left

Most games now are around 10gb.... that's 2 games at MOST, if you've got WoW installed that's 16gb alone... Don't get me wrong, I agree that SSD is good for OS + apps/games but 60gb is just NOT enough.
You need at least 80gb, and that's not much.
 
your wrong, my win7 install, with mafia2, Batman aa, crysis warhead, nero rom, and five nvidia demos is 51.2gb.

if you don't know what your talking about then don't post.

So basically you've got like 10gb left and 3 games installed, one application that takes up a few mb... yeah... :p All I'm saying is, you don't really have room for much more :) At this point it is working for you but let's face it, there is not much more room.
Installing another game plus a few real software packages like Office, Visual Studio, Adobe suite software is not really possible let alone the fact that it some software needs free space on drives alone to install updates...

I know what I'm talking about, I've had Raptors 74gb in Raid 0, the 64gb SSD even less.

Okey :) stulid and I have both given you an opinion and you should go for whatever you think suits you, if that is his, so be it..

and it looks like my choice was right,

where, office, adobe apps, came from I don't know.

Don't be a smartass please.
You know with your setup and +-10gb left, you're almost at its max. Most normal users also install applications, I don't know if he would, I just painted a scenario that is pretty common. One more game and you're OUT of space.
 
not common for me or him.

you accused me of being wrong when I said win7 and 5games, but I'm not.

deal with it.
