So here's my situation. I have to choose between a 500GB Samsung EVO, or a 1TB HDD. The issue is that when I upgrade I don't want to have to upgrade again for quite some time. Therefore, my question is, should I go for the 1TB and sacrifice speed for more storage, or will the 500GB last me for a bit?

 

P.S. I will be using this PC for gaming, general use, and light video editing

 

1 TB HDD + 250 GB SSD.

Yeah, your best getting a 1TB WD Blue and 250GB Samsung 850 Evo. It's a Wombo Combo, perfect amount of speed and storage.
