I'd think a 50gb will be tight for Windows plus games. Personally, I'd spend a little more and get http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-008-IN&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1427

Having enough space to put your games on is more important than having the fastest absolute speeds. Go for at least a 120GB drive or you're in for hassle juggling directories around.
OCZ Bigfoot 240GB, £340

If you've really got money to burn, get an OCZ Ibis (or a Revodrive X2 when OCZ decide to stock them)

With the price of 60GB Sandforce SSD's (~£90 each) you may as well get a couple and put them in RAID0 yourself (that's all that the Revodrive is, a couple of Sandforce SSD's in raid0). It'll be faster, more spacious and ~£40 cheaper.

I'm surprised that you only use 50GB or so, but it gives you plenty of options. an 80GB x25-M or 90GB OCZ Vertex 2 (both around £140) would do the job.
