Are you going to use Lion? If so this should be fine.

Not sure what you are planning to put on your SSD, but I'd go a little bit higher in size, 80-120g. I have a 120g and while I only filled about 60, that puts you at almost full capacity.

I'm running Snow Leopard with things like Final Cut Pro, Logic Studio (without samples) and a few other somewhat large programs, and I'm up to about 55-60gigs used. There's very little extraneous on my main drive, everything else of any size is on HDDs elsewhere.

Just as a heads up.

Yes, I'm planning to run Lion on it.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realize the base build would take up that much space.

I double checked and it looks like I have about 15-20gb of samples that Logic forces you to have on your main drive. So that could be deducted unless you plan on using logic/garage band.
