Corsair Force 3 60GB SSD ~7500/- [you need atleast a 120GB SSD to actually utilize its potential fully, so again you are hamstrung by your budget]

Well depending on your edition of Windows [Ultimate / Home Premium / Professional], a size-able chunk of a 60GB SSD will go into keeping the OS where will you install you applications that require the SSD advantage, that is why a 120GB SSD is better in the long run.

Please note SSD performance tapers of rapidly as it becomes full of data.
