I am looking to get an SSD to run my operating system off, to improve startup times and just a general boost, will a 32GB SSD be enough for just the operating system. Also can you suggest any cheap good 32GB SSD's?

Don't forget about updates and security patches. For a modern OS you need at least a 64 GB SSD, and a 120 GB or higher SSD is recommended unless you're very strict about the location of user data.

As far as brand goes I recommend Samsung, SanDisk, Intel, or Crucial.


32GB? Not even close.
120GB minimum for a Windows OS.

See this recent thread, so I don't have to write it all again:
