I am prolly gonna play lots of series like GTA, Battlefield, COD, CS (Only GO), NFs, Far Cry, Crysis, or Fallout..
How much will I need?

Specs:
Core i3 4160
8 GB Ram
EVGA Gtx 950

if you aren't gonna store music and video on your PC then you should be fine with 2 TB

As per your list you will be requiring maximum 1TB space for that. It also includes additional application which are required to play game and updates. So 1TB is enough for you.

SSD or HDD? I have a 512 SSD and play pretty much everything you do. I also have a NAS 4tb drive for all my music/video and stuff.

Not yet ready for SSD shit, I am talking about HDD.

I'd get a 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD will be plenty for all those games and more.

unless you are willing to pay thousands of bucks for things like 1 TB SSD's by samsung , you're gonna need an HDD , i payed thousands of bucks for SSD's when they were still the new thing like 6-7 years ago and i really don't know what to do with them now , i eventually had to pay another thousand bucks for a 6 TB toshiba hard drive , with this in my rig i can do pretty much everything i want ,

Guys, I hate to say this but I've already gone over my budget, and I need something sufficient in space and reasonable in price.

thousands? Not even.
1TB SSD's are around $225.

Or the Samsung for $313: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-850-EVO-2-5-Inch-MZ-75E1T0B/dp/B00OBRFFAS

A 250 for the boot drive + a 2TB for all that other stuff comes in at about $150 total.
