Hi all!
I'm new to the forum so excuse me if I'm not in the right area. I'm looking to build a hybrid school/work/gaming PC for 1200 or lower. What components would be the the best for such a build?
 
Solution
Is there a reason why I should go with the 2tb HDD isntead of just going with 2 ssds?
Probably not.
