So, I'm on a budget. And i have to choose: 250gb ssd and r7360, or 128gb ssd and gtx950.

I really want an ssd and i know 128gb isn't much. But after building it, i will add in an extra 500 gb hdd within 2 months

The only game I'm gonna be putting on the system is CS:GO so i won't need alot of storage.

 

If your interested, these are gonna be the rest of my parts:

Case: Corsair Carbide series 100R Window

CPU: i3 4160

MB: MSI B85-G41 PC Mate

Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY 2x4gb 1600mhz

psu: Corsair VS450

 

Thanks.

If OS and cs:go is all you want to install on it, you could do fine with a 64GB ssd already.

I would go with 128GB. I had windows installed on a 64GB SSD before and it wasn't fun, after disabling the pagefile and the hiberfile, I was left with around 25GB of usable storage after installing some essential programs. My CS:GO folder is 17GB. You can make it work with a 64GB SSD, but you'll have to empty your downloads folder every week or so and be very frugal with installing programs on the SSD

Molex to SATA, lose all your data
