    50gb a week would probably be enough. In gaming speed and latency are more important than a usage cap

    50gb is more than enough for sole gaming purposes. Latency and speed is the main factors.

    If you plan to use it for downloading files/games and other stuff that uses bandwidth then you might want to calculate it first.

    Playing an hour of left 4 dead 2 in steam only uses like 10-20mb (This doesnt include downloading the actual game and updates for it which can be big)
