They always say SSDs are worth investing in

Significantly faster boot time compared to a HDD. Gaming wise, I dont think it'll help much. Maybe for loading time? But if you want to get higher FPS, then invest in better gpu. But i see that you already have the amd 7970, now that's a pretty sweet card

Personally, if you have the budget then go for the bigger capacity SSDs. But like me, I only want to put my OS and maybe a few 3D programs. So i guess 120gb is perfect for me.
should i ditch the dvd rom and put normal HDD drive as 2nd HDD?im not sure whether i need the dvd rom or not
i already set the budget for the laptop but then i realised the SSD speed is just drooled me so is kinda tempting for me

My experience of using Kingston HyperX 240GB and Corsair Force 3 120gb.
- OS boot time average 20 secs from cold boot
- Load Battlefield 3 game about less than 30 secs compared to standard HDD which takes about more than 1 minute
- game performance depends on Processor and graphics.
120gb is enough to install couple of games and several programs.

if you a game maniac, pick higher capacity SSD

higher capacity = higher money

looks like i don really need to put games into ssd.
i have external 320GB HDD lying around but i can hear the "ngek ngek" sound from it. not sure it's the external casing problem or hdd itself. else i can use that hdd as 2nd hdd
