I always have a boot partition 100 to 150 GB in size. Yes, it seems like a lot, but between your software (which may vary in size depending on what you do), OS updates, your own downloads, system restore, internet cache, the temp folder used by several programs, and the pagefile... better safe than sorry.
That is not to say your 30 GB aren't enough. Some of us just need more.
