no SSD, hard drive as boot drive will be very unpleasant.

 

don't worry about a bottleneck though.

 

also some small quality adjustments

at least get a 120/128GB SSD for windows. the difference is night and day, while you may not have experienced an OS running on an SSD, once you do, you'll wonder why you never did it sooner

okay, i ound a 500gb ssd for $50 on amazon, ill just use the drives out of my old pc

the trick is to leave it on all night so you don't have to boot up every morning

I’ve run on SSDs since 2009 and I wouldn’t ever go back to HDDs. They are only long term storage of things I don’t need to load quickly.

 

I move photos to a nvme SSD to edit these days too.

I also do this, though for a different reason but you're right, that is certainly one way to avoid waiting for slow boots.

 

However, it's important to remember the benefit of an SSD is more than just fast boots.  For some reason that's always the most quoted benefit, but in my opinion it's actually the least meaningful.  A slow boot time can be avoided by grabbing a coffee while it works or just doing what you said.  The real benefits of an SSD go well beyond that and include:

• Fast logon times
• Fast application loading times
• Far superior general system responsiveness
• No general slowdown as the install ages

The 1660 super is a bit overkill for a 75hz screen. You could either save some money by getting a second hand 570 or 580, or try to find a bit more budget and look for black friday deals for a 144hz screen

yeah i might get a better screen if i have enough money saved or the prices are decent on amazon, if kinda been moving things around on my parts list. i have a 2tb hard drive laying around so i might buy a 500gb ssd to use as a boot drive as well as other applications i use frequently
