The price difference between 250GB and 500GB is the real factor here. Seeing as you're getting a 1TB HDD anyway, you could go 250GB unless you know you're going to exceed 250GB of SSD storage.

Get a 250GB SSD if your not going to have many games on it. I bought an 500GB SSD and I use about half of the storage so around 250GB but I also have the games I play the most on it. 

 

What games are you currently playing? If you are playing maybe 2 games and want them on your SSD then your good with 250GB SSD.

It all boils down to what you want to put where and how much of it there is. If you have a large steam library and you'll have to put it on the hdd anyways and you don't have any other big programs, then just get the 250. If you want your steam library on the SSD or you maybe use autocad or adobe products, or some other heavy software, go ahead and get the 500 and give yourself extra room (if you can afford)

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.

Can you afford the 500gb one?

If yes, then get it.

If no, then don't get it.

Get the 500GB as they're usually a better value than their 250GB counterparts

Here is what i recommend. Get a cheapo ssd and then buy a hard drive.

Main PC

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~i7 3770k 4.3ghz Arctic Freezer 33 Esports-Edition

~GTX 1080 MSI AERO (I literally paid £330 for this) 

~Samsung 860 EVO 500gb | WD Blue 1TB

~Kingston HyperX 2133Mhz DDR3 4x8gb

~Corsair SPEC-03 Red

 

Acer Aspire 5338 (2009 Laptop)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intel Celeron T3000 (Dual-Core @ 1.8ghz)

GM45 iGPU (Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family)

Samsung 860 EVO 500GB

Hynix 4GBx2 1066mhz(800mhz)

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (used to be on Vista)

 

 

I have no professionalism if you call 1 year with 3d modelling and unity "professional."

I asked my friend "So how many things do you have rgb so far?" He responded, "The only things that I have RGB is my GPU, CPU cooler, Keyboard, Mouse, Mousepad, Laptop, Ram, Motherboard, SSD, case fans, PSU, cheapo-RGB leds, razer phone 2 and "
