Go for at least a 64Gb drive use half of it as a boot drive & the other half for games
the main advantages u will get faster boot times & load times in games

SSD advantages
1.No risk of Mechanical Failure
2.Read Speeds
3.0 noise

Disadvantages
1.Cost
2.Limited number of write cycles
3.Write Speeds

Or one more option is to go fro RAID0 with 2X30GB drives
