So guys i have a 500GB Hard Drive in my PC. So when I install a game it installs to C drive (programfilesX86) as you know. My c drive is almost full like 70% but other drives have space . So i am thinking i will create a empty folder called GAME in E or F drive and will install all the games there means i will browse the location while installing make and select that folder on E or F drive . So my computer will not go slow. Is that ok to install the games in that ? Will it create any issue while installing any game or software? ANSWER ?
 
Solution
Steam games can be easily installed to different drives.
Like this:
Steam games location
In the steam client:
Steam
Settings
Downloads
Steam Library Folders
Add library folder

I see no issue with a dedicated drive, use a 6TB WD red pro for all my games.

I know steam and Blizzard allow you to cut and past install folders around, you just have to repoint the client to the new folder. Steam, Blizzard, and Origin will allow you to pull the drive out and place it into another computer without to many issues. This is handy if you ever have to reinstall windows you dont have to reinstall all your games again since they are on another drive.
