I am building a new gaming rig. I am planning to buy and ADATA premier pro sp600 64gb ssd for installing Windows 8 on it. I do not want to disable hibernation and paging as it may affect the gaming performance. Will 64GB ssd be enough ? How much space does windows 8 take and how much space is it recommended to be free. And what about the recycle bin, will I have to disable it ?
I have already spent a lot of money buying all the PC components and I don't wish to spend a lot on an SSD, if 64GB won't suffice I would go with just the traditional HDD I have already purchased.
 
Solution
Don't.
64GB will frustrate you, not to mention that the SSD you are considering is notoriously unreliable.
120GB minimum is decent.

Leave out an SSD and use the case to get a better GPU for example.
You can always add an SSD later.
