Cheap ssd???

[SomeonesDad]

So i am trying to build a budget pc but it somehow ended up being a bit too much for my budget, i figured out that i will change my boot drive for a cheap 128 gb m.2 ssd from v-gen then get an 1TB seagate barracuda hard drive for my games. Should i do this? or should i just get a 2 TB seagate barracude HDD for both my game library and for windows

P.S. The price of both the ssd and the hard drive is same as the 2 TB version

get a 128gb ssd for windows as booting from a hdd is terrible. have a 1 or 2 tb hdd for games. heres one for windows and a few games. ssd

Always include an SSD in your PC. At least for windows and a few important apps. A HDD for windows will cripple your whole experience no matter the price point.

You pretty much need an SSD for Windows in this day and age.

Look for something that uses TLC flash and has a DRAM cache, like a Kingston A2000 which would be a decent choice.

Do what I have, in my system:

250GB SSD for Windows/essentials

500GB SSD for game installs (don't play many games.. OK; ONE game)

1TB* HDD for data/files/photos, etc (* or bigger)

They're about 50-60 of most first world currency, so a good option.
