120 GB SSD and 1GB HDD ..or.. 240 GB SSD?

[rustamova]

Super layman. Using the computer for gaming. It's a decent gaming desktop but nothing crazy. I'm not a Steam horder either so space isn't a huge deal to me as I will probably just bounce between a few MMORPGs, one or two AAA games and a few indies. Not against the idea of deleting things to make room for other things either. Which would be the better option to go with?

Should mention, I'm forced to take one of these two options with a pre built.

Also if I got the 120 GB SSD drive, it is only things/games stored on that drive that have faster loading? Or does the SSD improve the HDD too? ..yeah like I said..super layman.

Many thanks ahead.

120GB SSD + 1TB HDD
or
240GB SSD


Both are bad choices.
The 120GB SSD is too small. That will take the OS and maybe 1 game. You'll be continually managing the free space on that drive.

The 240GB SSD is too small if it is the only drive.


Solution:
Get the 240GB SSD, and add other drives later.

What is the rest of the parts in this thing, and from whom?
And how much are you paying?

Thanks. This is the link to computer. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-KILLER-Gaming-PC-Bundle/dp/B01N3SW3JV/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&qid=1547599903&sr=8-47&keywords=ssd%2Bgaming%2Bpc%2Bbundle&th=1

I could just use the 1TB for other games though? I'm not super worried about loading times.

"AMD FX-6300"
That is an exceedingly poor purchase. Very old platform that wasn't great when it was new.

For £800, you could build something that would absolutely crush this thing.

Thanks again. I know building your own computer is a lot better but it's not something I can humour right now. Any ideas on where I could get a decent pre built gaming rig with Windows 10 installled? I've been checking around but am almost clueless. My budget would be £750 max. Sorry, know I'm off topic. I'm in the U.K.

Something like this for £600.

That's a current CPU, not something from 7 years ago.


Add your own SSD, and still save money.
