80GB may seem small, but how many programs do you actually have? I use 47GB at work which includes OS, entire CS3, CS4, 3ds Max 2009, 2010, Office, and ~20 smaller programs. I could easily add WoW and ~5 other normal sized games and still be under 80GB.

Take a look at your current C: drive, subtract stuff you never use, and you'll see how much space you have/need.

That is what I was getting at. That I would not use anywhere near 80 gig for programs and OS. So 64 gig (OCZ) should do as well if I opted for that instead of the Intel.

Just make sure it supports TRIM (not sure if the OCZ drives do .. double check). Leave yourself some room though - the last thing you want to have to do is get rid of programs just because you want to install another game or two down the road. For me it's not a problem cause I'm a Blizzard fanboy and the only other game I ever play is CS:S, but not everyone else has the same preferences.
