Utilizing Performance

So I have a question. Ever sense I purchased and constructed my Rig I have run into a few problems down the line. Like all systems none are flawless. It have a SSD for Bootup for OS, and an HDD for main storage. It's a gaming PC with decent specs. The HDD is constantly in use whenever I'm running games or using demanding applications, with performance reaching 100% in the task manager. Thus causing the system to lag. Most of my games and apps are stored on HDD and I have come up with the solution of possibly merging my games to my SSD to help performance. Am I thinking this right or are there other solutions out there?

Yes your HDD is thrasing in games.  Put it on SSD also make sure you have no page file.

And let's say I had a external ssd hardrive. Would it be more or less better to have it on the drive? Or does it not really matter?
