Do I really need an ssd?

[RedLineGamer]

I can't go over 128gb if im getting an ssd because thats way over the budget. If I get an ssd I would just install windows on it and save documents on onedrive, and installing all programs on a hdd.

Anyways, do I need an ssd? Or should I partition 120gb on a 1tb hdd?

I also do a lot of gaming. I don't care about booting speeds.

NOTE: I did not buy the storage drives yet.

With your budget, id just get a hdd. SSD do make systems much faster.

If you don't care about boot speeds, do you care about general system snappiness?

Almost no one "NEEDS" an SSD. HDD's are fine if you don't mind waiting an extra second for your browsers to load or your enemies to spawn. the only thing an SSD will do for your computer is reduce the amount of time you need to wait to do things. If you don't mind waiting a moment or two here and there, then you don't need an SSD

The simple answer is no, you don't need an SSD and generally when on a tight budget, you should skip the SSD and get it later

The SSD is THE most significant speed improvement you will notice over ram and even CPU Speed (depending what you're coming from...). I'd say drop on peripherals, drop on case, drop anything non essential to get that SSD. Drop even on total RAM if you ask me..
