I am building my 1st rig can i use an ssd by itself meaning no hdd just the ssd?

Yes, you can.

Yes you can, but be aware that repetitive write operations will shorten the life of the SSD. I recommend having an SSD for Windows, games and programs, but using a HDD for storage.

Thanks, i am building a pc for a game i play called warface so i can play on high graphics and increase my fps and fluidity although i do want the new doom game also i will watch some streams youtube vids read the news nothing to fancy. So im not gonna pretend i know exactly what repeat write options are is that like installing 1 game then unistalling it to make room for another over and over again? i ordered the samsung 850 pro its supposed to last for some years they claim

last note i plan to add the samsung 950 pro m.2 next month when i get some rebound funds. Really im just trying to build a rig with todays memory tech and not pay for and run a hdd if i dont have to

i7 4790k
msi gtx 970 OC
msi z97 gaming 5
16 gb vengeance pro 1600mhz
corsair h60 water cooler
evga 650w gold GQ modular psu
Samsung 850 pro 256 gb
4 alienware super silent 120mm fans
enermax ivektor black case

thats what i bought so far the cpu and ssd are scheduled for delivery in a couple days so its coming down to building time real soon and im getting a little nervous about this new adventure also any thought son the stuff gear i bought was it a good choice or bad choice?
