    First thing I would do is see if I could make better use of the existing drive. Make sure Hibernation & Page File are turned off and run disk cleanup (including the advanced options for removing cached files and extra system restore points). You can use a program called Steam Mover or other programs that use file system junctions to move less used programs and games to a regular hard drive without breaking the installation.

    Ok lightning363, The first thing I would suggest is go out and get a SATA3(6G) Hard Drive and then when you have it installed follow what zeromist suggested. Just running an SSD only system will kill the SSD fast but if you put all of those thing that zeromist stated on the Regular Drive and use the SSD only for your Programs then the SSD will not fill up as fast and your system will run a lot longer.
