250GB SSD + 2TB HDD or 500GB SSD?

Hi, as the title states, I was wondering which of the two options is better and why since they both practically cost the same price. Also I am going with a Samsung 850 EVO in both cases.

Thank you in advance.

Completely depends on your space requirements.
Will all of your stuff fit into 500GB? (actually ~400GB)

And of course, you can add new drives later as needed.

That depends do you need 2.5tb of storage? I am mainly a gamer with fast internet so I would have no problem getting the 500gb ssd and deleting and reinstalling games if I run out of room. At this point I wont even use an HDD for most modern games, you should see the load times for bf1 multiplayer on a hard drive truly ridiculous. But if you have lots of stuff to store other than games getting the hrad drive plus the smaller ssd might be the better choice, it all depends on what you want to use this computer for and what you have to store.

Ooh ok so it comes to down to personal taste. I'm more a gamer haha, and yeah I'm quickly running out of room on my 1TB hard drive i always wondered how fast ssds were and how its affect gaming
