14.5 GB free on a 465 GB hard drive. Mostly full of games and sports card pictures. What would you suggest for about 125.00? Here is the hard drive I have now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073

Here is my mother board so you know what I have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130223

I'd recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840
I wouldn't get the Western Digital because that's what we had all the issues with in the server.  2 of them went bad within 6 months and we had top of the line WD drives in there too.  I've NEVER had any issues with Seagate so that is what I recommend.  Not to mention with 64MB buffer it will be quite a bit faster than the WD grill recommended.

What can I get in SSD? I could get higher but wanted to get that graphics card that gill posted today. I was thinking hard on it but the 7990 comes out in March and may knock the price down.

You can probably get a 60GB SSD if you find a super good sale for $125.

Not worth the price. How much for a 500 gig?

Thanks for the link Fallen, that in fact is a very good price.  Good performing drive as well.  But 120GB is a bit too small for me, I was thinking of getting a couple 1TB SSD's or (4) 500GB SSD's.  They just aren't there yet...and I'm not going to upgrade SSD to just put OS on it, I want everything on it...or it's pointless...plus I don't want to have to reinstall everything again!

    1 TB ssd's are going for about $3,300. That's for pure ssd. Hybrids are about 1/3 the price. I'd go with 2 120's in a raid 0 & a 1 TB 7,200 rpm for storage. By the time the ssd's wear out the price per GB should be a lot cheaper. :-)

    With all the problems I have heard people had with SSDs, I would stay away from them.

    I was able to remove a few things and got it to 27.7 Available. I still need a new one. It looks like SSD is out of my price range, I really want a new video card, my 5870 will not run Battlefield 3 at full resolution. It runs any other game at full though.
