Don't mean to throw any sticks in the spokes, but had to mention it from personal experience - I think the 60GB SSD will end up being too small. I got a 60GB SSD too, and I have only Win7 + my programs on it and there are only 12GB free right now. Can't put a game on it or it will fill up completely.

I wish I had gone with a 120GB. I will end up upgrading sooner or later and the bottom line will be the cost of the 60 + the cost of the 120, when I could have saved money if I went 120 to begin with.

I am eying a Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 120 GB SSD that has great reviews, and costs only $129.

Max Sequential Read Up to 550MB/s

Max Sequential Write Up to 515MB/s

4KB Random Write Up to 90,000 IOPS

MTBF 2,000,000 hours

It's faster and x2 bigger for just $30 more.

60GB will work though.

Windows is about 15GB.
Program Files are 1 to 2GB.
Pagefile I'd reduce to 2GB.
Hibernation I'd disable.
My Docs, Music, Videos, and Pictures I'd move to the HDD.

So with care, you could probably keep the OS and apps at around 20GB. Leaving more than half left over.
Ideally you don't want to fill an SSD, it can hurt performance, but still plenty of room for one or two large games or a few smaller games.
