SSD life with normal use

After posting in several threads about “why get a SSD for a gaming machine” I decided to try it for my OS drive and see for myself. I bought a Corsair Force 120GB on sale and the only thing I would like to know is how long should it last before I start seeing degradation and need to reset it? It comes with the 1222 Sandforce controller and from what I can see ( after googling for 2 hours ) there is no hard data for drive life or performance degrading with general use. It will be strictly for OS and a few games like WoW and City Of Heroes, most of my other games that load the whole level into memory will be an a WD Caviar Black 1TB.

Thanks

He talks about NAND lifespan a little in there and references multiple SSD controller and NAND technologies.
