I'm looking to run Windows on my Mac for gaming, and I feel like Boot Camp is the best option for my situation.

I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to how much space I should give to Boot Camp. My Mac has a 700GB hard drive, with only ~650GB used. My main goal is to be able to play Skyrim, but I'd also like to try playing Prototype, Deadspace 2, and maybe Left 4 Dead in the future. (Hardware wise, I think I'm good. I just need to get Windows on there.)

Do you have any suggestions on how much space I should give the Boot Camp partition?

Thanks, guys.

I would start out by creating a 100 GB partition. You can always increase that later on if need be, however, you would need to use specialized software to do it properly otherwise you'll lose Windows. CampTune from Paragon software is only $19.95 and can increase or decrease a Boot Camp partition non-destructively.
