Go to solution Solved by 0s4x,

I agree with @FloRolf, get a 120GB SSD for OS and installed programs, and a mechanical drive for games/movies/music etc.

 

EDIT:

ill only be downloading a max of 5 games and most are of steam so i dont know it its worth it

 

In that case, I'd say dont bother with mechanical drive and just go with the SSD you planned to in the first place.
