I'm having a hard time deciding how much I should partition my hard drive

I am having a very difficult time deciding how much space I should partition my harddrive. I'm using bootcamp so I can play my favorite games (the Total War series) but i don't know how much space is needed for this. I'm not going to use windows for anything else but this, and I want a good amount of space for expansions and maybe perhaps even some downloads. I would like to hear your opinions:)

Thanks for asking but not for not saying how much space you have to play with.


Windows 7 x64 needs are in the 40GB and up.


Mac OS needs to still have adequate free space to function: 20-30% free and at least 20GB, more is better there too. Same for Windows.


It has been asked and numbers for why 40-60GB though some have gotten (away) with less.


An SSD you always want to insure higher % free.
