If you choose to 'use largest available free space' when installing Ubuntu; it will use that entire 60GB so nothing will be left over.

If you chose to partition it yourself and you use 20GB for root and 1GB for swap, you'll have 39GB of free space which you can partition out for storage or whatever you want. To do that you need to as Bartender mentioned and create an extended partition.
