File Management SDD/HDD Help

ArneD

So I've got all the components I need to build a pc -specs below- and for the first time ever I'm getting an SDD because they're supposed to be better at stuff... thing is I don't really know what exactly I should put on the SDD (it's a 128gb one). I've thought about just putting the os on th sdd but that seemed like a waste to me. Any help? I will be installing windows 10 in case you need that. Thanks in advance! :P

Thing is programs will take up way more than 128GB, on my current pc the Program files folder and program files (x86) combined have 300GB

thats including all your games and such, not all of them will be installed on the ssd, install os first obviously, then your most used programs and drivers, then your most played game or two

 

average person installing all of their programs (games not included) shouldnt fill a 120 gb ssd
