Would that be big enough for the program files and that ?

Can you not move the program files folder? Or choose where programs are installed, when you install them. If not, just make the partition bigger. 50gig should be alright. And 50 out of 500 isn't too much

I'd recommend GParted. But do backup all your important information before you start.
