Modern games require a lot of disk space, I would consider upping the windows partition to 75GB or 100GB. For your backup requirement, I would identify what can't be replaced and give yourself 2-3 times that to at least allow you to backup without overwriting your current backup. That way if you have a failure during your backup you don't lose both copies of your data. You could also consider removable media for backups. Blu Ray burners and media aren't overly expensive anymore. With online and offline storage, you could burn your old backup off to blu ray before overwriting your online storage, this way you could possibly reduce the size of your backup partition.
