Yep let me sum up your harddrive space

4 to 8GB = Windows
12GB+ = Games
OVER 9000GB = P0rn

60GB for OS and applications with another drive for games and porn will work quite well - i use a 40GB C: partition myself

OMG 9TB's of Porn, Can I copy that

I m using 100GB partition for Operating systems and games. Enough for me

main advantage to games on another partition, is that your games partition cant get fragmented/never needs a defrag

60 is fine,

currently using 20GB for my windows 7 install + all the drivers and programs like winrar, adobe reader ect on a 30GB SSD.
