Dude, of all the stuff I have read now, it doesn't seem worth it going for sata6g drives...

That OCZ Vertex 3 is pretty much the fastest one that you can get, and R2600 isn't a bad price for it either.
There are a bunch of cheaper SATA 2 (3Gbps) SSD's going for under R2k, but their sequential read & write speeds are almost half of that of the OCZ Vertex 3.

Well it's random read/write that matters more anyway.
So far, wootware are the cheapest... http://www.wootware.co.za/ocz-120gb-vertex-3-series-sata-iii-3-5-ssd-retail.html
I looked into SSD drives not long ago and came to the conclusion that the OCZ Vertex was the best.

Plenty of sites say pretty much the same thing, buy the Vertex.
Reason I didn't buy it was because RAID doesn't work with SSD drives yet. Soon but not yet.

always fresh install on a ssd, it works better 
just backup your steam folder beforehand
