I'm looking at getting a new PC from Overclockers or similar for around £600 in the next couple of months. To make it easier for myself I was going to take whatever drive they fit in it and use that as a data drive and use a SSD for the OS and programs I use most often - Illustrator, Firefox, Photoshop etc.
Question is: Should I buy the SSD now and stick it in my current PC in the mean time?
I've got a drive for OS and a seperate one for data. The OS drive is 150GB but has only 45GB of data on it which I could squeeze down to under that to get a cheaper 40GB SSD.
Next question: What drives should I avoid/go for? Looking around the £80-£150 mark.

Don't solid state drives start at the £150 mark?

If you have 45gb of data just now a 40gb ssd won't be much use, you want plenty of free space on the OS drive, not filling it to capacity.

I've got a 500GB data drive. I can move a lot of data to that but the stuff I want to load quickly like Illustrator and PS I'll put on the SSD.
