I am looking forward to the first SSD in my system. My budget started out as rs 40000. As of now it has been stretched to Rs 65000(still climbing!). So I wanted a combination of SSD and normal HDD in my system, considering the cost of SSDs and the space limitation.

So I've decided on getting a 2TB HDD and I would like your suggestions on what capacity SSD would do. I just want faster load times. Also tell me about where to install the OS and where to install other apps. Thanks.

I don't know much about SSDs, but from what I have heard, the Intel X-25 something SSD is supposed to be very good. You may check it out.
