You won't find an SSD at that size at that price I'm afraid. For a 512GB drive (the only one bigger than your current 320GB) it's around £300. Flash storage is no more space-efficient than normal storage so if you've filled up your 320GB drive you'll need a bigger SSD.
For £60 you could get a 500GB Seagate Momentus XT, which has 500GB of rotational storage, then 8GB of SSD cache, making it quicker to access your most recently used data. Normally it's just a case of putting the SSD into an external USB enclosure (£5 from ebay) then using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone all the data across. You can enable TRIM afterwards.
