You install the OS on the SSD and then the rest on the HDD. Not rocket science lol

Yeah, you totally can. In fact if you just have the SSD in your computer and no other Hard Drives/SSDs you won't even have to think about it, it just functions as normally as a regular computer.

 

However, I'd really like to know what games you're playing and how big your SSD is, because games are getting bigger and bigger these days and 2TB WD Green drives are so cheap that if you even think you might need one it's worth trying
