New Rig Storage Organisation

I am planning on building my first gaming Rig and would like some guidance on the best practice for Storage of OS files (On a SSD of its own) and game's and other software (graphics related) on another separate drive. Should I invest in a SSD or beefy HDD? How should I install my games on the separate drive? How can I organize the folders? 

 

I don't want any of my gaming files or applications saved in documents, which is the problem I faced in my old laptop.

 

Looking forward to your help!

You can simply install your OS on something like an NVME drive and then install your steam library on a separate HDD, Its fairly simple. I personally just have 2 large SSD's so everything is fast but most people would rather have an SSD for the OS and an HDD for the not so mission critical tasks.
