I am building a new system Monday, and will be my first SSD, budget mean I could only get a 60GB SSD drive, but I have 16GB ram. Obviously I dont want the swapfile to be 1.5x the size of the ram as wont have much of a hard drive left. What would be a good fixed size to have here?

Depends on what you use your computer for. If you'll never use the whole lot, set the swap file to 1GB. Otherwise, you need to know what the largest amount of RAM you will need to use is.

Thats a difficult question as I do 3D rendering :/

How about I move the swap file to the data drive which is a normal hard drive. Will Windows then create a smaller swap file by itself on the c drive?
