The hard drive is rarely the limiting factor in a rig however an ssd can give a slight bump over to your system performance. If you have the money, get a 120-250gb ssd for the OS and programs, if not you'll be fine with the hdd

so SSD just for windows and programs? all games keep them in hard drive?

Well, use the hard drive for mass storage - so put all your files, downloads, stuff you don't care about much into it.

 

The SSD should be used for your OS and primary games/applications.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
