I am getting an alienware 13 with a gtx 1060, intel i7 7700HQ and a 1080p screen. Should i go for 8gb RAM and a single 512gb ssd or 16gb ram with 2 128gb ssd's (one for boot and one for storage)? I will be playing games like GTA V and Forza Horizon 3.

i believe that laptop has a removable ssd and possibly removable ram, so you can replace it yourself

base model + upgrade ram/ssd (cheaper than buying it from the manufacturer)

 

 

but, make sure you do some research on it, i dont know if it really does have removable ssd/ram. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Does this laptop actually have no DAMN HDDS?! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? WASTE 200-300 DOLLARS FOR A 1TB SSD?!

It wont be my daily driver. My PC is for that so 512gb is fine for games and some programs.
