I don't recommend that. A 60-64GB SSD will have almost no space left over after Windows installs.
A 128GB is a decent spot in terms of price right now and you can get them cheaper if you wait for sales or look around. I sold my new Crucial M4 128GB for $100 last week. I've owned like 5 SSDs and won't use conventional hard drives for anything anymore. It's the most important development in computer technology in 10 years in my opinion for taking away the biggest bottleneck.
SSDs also grow faster with size which is one funny thing about it. A 128GB SSD will be faster than a 64GB SSD.
I would also look for a cheap Windows 7 rather than a new Windows 8.
