It's not the best idea to fill your entire SSD up with games since you typically see very little benefit in most cases. I typically put games with slow load times or my most commonly played games on my SSD and the rest on my HDD. I found that the load time for WoW and GTA V have been lowered significantly by putting them on my SSD where other games like CS:GO had very little difference between being on my SSD or HDD.

 

TL:RD - Put a few of your favorite games on your SSD and the rest on your HDD

The only game I have on SSD is CS:GO because I like being able to pick what team I want to play at in Casual by being one the first to load the map, aside from this every thing else I installed on my 7200rpm HDD and It really does not bother me one bit... sure Deus Ex  Mankind Divided, The Witcher 3, GTA V... all load very slowly but once the game's loaded there's no difference at all any ways and I usually take that time to set myself comfortable, go to the bathroom, have a glass of water... you pick it.
