How Much Difference does it really make ?

[TheNightMaster]

So i'm planning to build a new rig. 

I am looking at a terabyte or so of storage requirement, 

The processor should be somewhere around the i5 6600 

so will putting an SSD in there really have a great impact ?

And if yes. Which one should I get ? 

I would like using the extra money that an SSD takes up on something else, maybe a better GPU  

I plan to use this for gaming.

SSD makes a big difference. Get a samsung 850 pro 250gb and maybe a 1tb hdd

Yes, the difference is huge. Thats why i got 1,5TB of SSD-Storage in my PC

I guess I'll go for an SSD then , But are you sure it's worth the price ?

IMO its worth it. They are pricy everywhere but they are such a big boost in performance and reliability.

If you can't fit it into your budget, then that's a separate issue. But the answer to your question was yes… at least in some tasks, an SSD can be a massive difference.

It's not like it won't fit into my budget, just wanted to make sure it's a good choice

SSDs tend to be the most notable upgrade you can give to a system of any caliber, unless they don't have SATA.  

 

To give you an idea:

Note: This is with a legacy BIOS, not the much faster booting UEFI.

Some alternatives are BX100, Sandisk Plus and Kingston Savage

SSD is great for you operating system and makes a huge everyday impact. I could not go back. Samsung 850 evo is nice because it has Rapidmode in their magician software that allows unused rams as additional cache for your system.

i switched from mechanical hard disk to an SSD 2~3 years ago

cant live without one now

 

that said, if dropping an ssd means a better gpu/cpu, choose a better gpu/cpu `-`

how do you figure? The CPU and GPU are much faster than any SSD. Why would he need a better CPU or GPU because of SSD?

I think he means if having to choose to upgrading to an SSD or buying a better CPU/GPU.
