It's not necessary to have an SSD, but imo it is totally worth it.

Alright, Thanks

You can always get one later if you find it too slow.

 

SSDs can make even 10-year-old computers appear to be lightning fast.

Did you look into desktop SSHDs instead of buying them separately?

Are they necessary?  No,  I've ran an hdd system for a couple months   and every system apart from my main rig is hdd-only. 

 

Are they worth it?  Totally,  apart from the fast loading times,  the system is overall considerably snappier

Coaxialgamer is right you will notice a big performance boost using an ssd as a bootdisk, if your using a hdd as a bootdisk and storage it will be slower it can only do so much at once and when your reading and write to the hdd that your using at that time thats where an ssd shines and when you pair an ssd with a hdd you get the speed and the capacity. 

you dont need a big ssd a 120gb ssd can still have alot of speed and is big enough for a bootdisk however your better with a 250gb, you dont need bigger unless you install lots of software or want to run games off it but thats what the hdd would be for.
