ssd 32gb enough?

[Emile3010]

Hi

I will be building my first pc (budget) in a month. I don't know if a 32gb ssd is big enough for windows. Can someone solve my question?

for windows yes. You cant really put anything else on it though. Why 32GB? you can get 120GB for like 40-50 bucks

[COUPER MILLAR]

Technically yes. However I would recommend nothing g smaller than 128gb as windows tends to bloat quite a bit over time.

It is enough. I would recommend getting a bigger 120 or 240 GB SSD so you can run other programs faster. If you really on a tight budget get a Hard Drive for extra programs but keep the SSD.

32gb will be enough for windows alone, but overtime it will fill up due to cache and temporary files, ud have to remove all of those things everytime

Enough - yes, worth - no

Hi 

For windows , yes it's enough but for anything else , it's not
You won't be able to have any game on it. I strongly recommend you to go for 128GB at least. 256 is good and 512 is the sweet spot in my mind

You should get at least 250GB because you want to put more things than just your OS on it, otherwise it's a waste.

My bedroom HTPC is rocking a 40 GB (37.3 GiB) Intel SSD. Right now I have 20.1 GB (18.7 GiB) of storage space left on that drive. That's with nothing but Windows 10, Kodi and the Netflix app installed.

 

So yes, Windows will technically fit on a 32 GB drive.

 

Using it won't be pretty though: one big upgrade (or about half a game download) and you're already running out of disk space.

Because my first plan was just not buying an ssd. I am on a budget and a bigger ssd will really cost to much for me.

I'm also buying a 1tb harddrive for my games etc.

Then your storage problems with programs will be solved. If you really want to get good power, I would sacrifice storage on your hard drive for ssd storage
