I want to use this kingston 240Gb SSD (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N5IB20Q/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_r4AtCbSV4Y6JA) as a boot up driver so the system boots up fast I can open stuff fast and I wanna use my 1TB HDD as storage for games, pictures and videos ect

I wanna know if I can do this and how I can do this.

I've also decided to get myself

I'm gonna add a gpu to this sometime this year
 
yes done easily and all the time.
my advice is to install windows and update windows with ONLY the SSD connected. after updating, shut down and connect the hard drive. boot and your done.

when installing programs change the default install location to the HDD (for programs you want on HDD).
 


Yes. That's a very common config.
