Question about HDD

[Kody123]

Hello I have purhcased a 5400rpm 1tb HDD with (64mbs cache and 6gbs) would this be good for gaming since I'm on a budget and can't afford a ssd as of this time?

[Wonders3004]

it wont be quite as fast as a 7200rpm hdd and not nearly as fast as a ssd but seeing as how you are on a budget it will be fine in the meantime you wont notice a difference if you have never used an ssd before if you have im not sure going back to a mechanical would be doable at least for me

Besides load times your performance will be down to the rest of the system.

There are cheap 7200, but I don't know enough about your situation to judge. More info would help.

Thanks for the reply, so would this bottleneck my gpu and CPU?

 

I know this is a stupid question but im new to pc building and gaming.

It shouldn't, it just slows down the loading speed.

[Wonders3004]

it could cause stuttering while loading perhaps but i dont think it will bottleneck it

Would I get bottleneck on my CPU and gpu in gaming like gta v or ark survival?

[Wonders3004]

no it should be fine it will all just come down to how fast the game loads or other programs when using a mechanical hdd gpu and cpu will be fine

What model CPU and GPU do you have?

If you're curious about general bottlnecking from the HDD itself, not really, as stated above

Depending on who you ask, they might say there will be a bottleneck but it will be minimal, worst case. I don't foresee any bottlenecks though so you're all good
