That SSD is going to be fine but only as long as you don't stick anything extra on it. I had a 120 GB SSD, and it was full all the time. It would probably have been OK but I needed some frustratingly large software that would have taken a substantial portion on C even if I had installed it elsewhere. If you're sure you don't need any big software now or in the future, 120 GB is going to be enough but if not, it's going to become somewhat of a battle. Keep in mind that you you need to upgrade the device your OS (e.g. Windows) is on, you're going to have to install everything again. Depending on the amount of space you need, preferable solutions would be, in my opinion, the following (in no particular order):

  • 240 GB SSD + a big HDD: The SSD is still not enough for many games, but its size is not going to be a problem and you can probably install some games on it.
  • 500+ GB SSD with no HDD: If you don't need too many games installed at once, 500 GB might be enough and games ought to load a bit faster too.
  • External HDD for bulk storage (not games), internal storage accordingly: If you have lots of need for non-software bulk storage, external HDD is probably the way to go. Obviously it's going to change the kind of internal storage that suits you. Having an external will make it easier to upgrade your storage situation in the future.

Again: 120 GB might be enough for your needs, but you should be fairly certain it's going to be enough if you want to go for it.

EDIT: Overall, seems fairly solid.
