Sorry I failed to mention it in my first post, but when I said performance, I meant load times not FPS

Having both your OS and games on an SSD will surely result to better performance. But when you have too many games and other files, a high capacity SSD (1TB) is expensive. A cheaper option is to install your OS on a budget low-capacity SSD (128GB), then put the games on a mechanical hard drive. 120GB SSD - $80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820147371 1TB HDD - $89 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236984 1TB SSD - $305 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820147374 $169 vs $305 (around 80% increase in price) My question: Is the difference in overall performance enough to justify the increase in the prices? Like also 80% or more performance increase

As soon as I got a job (almost a year ago), I have been spending around half of my salary on buying PC parts and Steam games, only to realize that I have been very busy with work and other stuff for actually playing the games I bought. And no, I don't regret building a gaming PC even if I can only use it a few hours per day. Unemployed - have time but no money Employed - have money but no time

I have 3 computers in different rooms connected by a 1 gigabit ethernet cable 1. Mid tower PC - SSD + 4x1TB HDD 2. SFF gaming PC - SSD + 1TB HDD 3. Living room PC - SSD only I am using the windows network file-sharing feature to get the files from my mid tower PC. Someone suggested I get a Synology NAS or build a DIY NAS. But someone else said that a NAS is "overkill" for this particular build. Can anyone here suggest how to improve this setup? And what advantage can I get if I use a NAS instead of this current setup? Note: I don't use RAID because I don't know how to but I have offsite backup of my important files

I know Linus made a video on Static Pressure vs Airflow but that was on mid-tower and full-tower cases. The case I'm using right now is the Silverstone RVZ01, a slim case with 2 120mm fans on one side and 1 on the other side. AF fans are good for moving huge amounts of air, but considering that this case is very small, would it be better to use SP fans for intake? Because why would you want high airflow if you have a small case, right? Also I couldn't find a comparison on the two fans in an SFF case scenario. Right now, I'm using 2 Corsair SP 120's and the included slim fan, all intake, positive pressure, passive exhaust on top and at the back of the case.
