I'm thinking of buying an SSD but I haven't a clue what to look for..
I'll have about £200-£240 to spend once I've completed a website.

I'm looking for one thats around 80GB or higher as I'll be storing;
Win7 Ultimate (12gb)
Microsoft Office Enterprise (0.5gb)
Adobe Master Suite CS5 (4gb)
All Points Bulletin (10gb)
Bad Company 2 (6.5gb)
Call of Duty Black Ops (10gb)
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (10gb)
Crysis 2 (8gb)
Medal of Honor (8gb)

So can anybody recommend me one?
I'd be grateful, thanks
 
Problem with MW2 (and probably Black Ops in the future) is that it's connected to Steam, and all steam games must be on same hard disk/SSD, so if you have other steam games you're a tad stuck :s)

For that much, might aswell save yourself a tad and get one of those new OCZ Vertex 96gb SSD's, OCZ really seem to be the ones to invest in on SSD's at the moment. Just brought a Vertex LE 50gb myself!
 
Ah I didn't know that, thanks carrot :P I don't really play other games by steam but I'll keep the other ones on the other HDD and when I think I want to play it I'll just transfer to the SSD.

I had been looking at those Vertex 96gb ones and they seem pretty good, unless I can find a higher spaced one that isn't Corsair I think I'll be going for that one (or possible the 100gb one if I have the money - I'm looking to buy it within the next 3 weeks).

Another question though; Would the SSD fit in the place my hard-drive goes or would I need an adapter of some sort? (If it helps, I've got a HAF 932)
