Hey, I am planning on getting these but I just wanna make sure there isn't an alternative I am missing out on. My budget can fit about $10 more, but nothing too much more. It's nothing crazy, just a 120GB SSD (https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01N6JQS8C/?tag=pcppau-22) for windows, CS:GO (my most played game by far), chrome etc. and a 2TB HDD (https://www.austin.net.au/seagate-barracuda-st2000dm006-internal-hard-drive-3-5-2000-gb-serial-ata-iii-hdd.html) for my other games and random crap (it's gonna last me a while as I mainly play CS:GO). As you can see they come to $100 AUD and my max is $110 (maybe $115 if it's an absoluteton better). Let me know what you think and thanks in advance!

 

P.S here's my build if it helps: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/HRvx3b

You probably don't need a 2tb hard drive, so I increased the ssd storage to 240gb and decreased the hdd to 1tb, it's a little cheaper. And I don't know if you've bought the other parts yet, but I also changed the motherboard for you as you had an issue with a B350 motherboard with the 2200g, so I upgraded to b450 and it's a little cheaper also.

120 gb boot drive is not great, 240 gb  boot drive is a must these days IMO, when it comes to hard drive you can buy another one later, when/if you will be starting to fill it up or if some hard drive will go on sale.
