Is 320gb enough for gaming

[LifeHas4Letters]

When I first built my PC I didn't think too hard on storage so I used the 300gb HDD in my old potato PC. Just a few weeks ago I have started running out of space and deleting games and programs that I still use just to save space. I bought a $30 500gb HDD that arrived DOA and I couldn't return it. Now i'm thinking of either buying a 320gb $20 HDD and use the rest of my money on something else or just spend $40 on the 500gb.

All of those OLD hard drives are going to be SLOW .... I would take the $50 and buy a 128GB SSD. Do a fresh install of the OS on the SSD and use your 320GB for games/data only.

It honestly depends on the type of games that you want to play. If its an extra 320GB ontop of the 300gb that you have then it should be fine. I have BF4 (40gb), DayZ (10gb), CSGO (14gb), GTA V (66gb), The Witcher 3 (36gb), Civ 5 (9gb) and that all totals up to 175gb. Unless you're going to be storing video then I personally wouldn't worry about it too much.

Unless you want to spend your life chasing space, no 320gb is not enough. Plus those old drives are likely SLOOOOOOWWWWW

For $8 more you can buy a NEW 1TB HD that is 7200 rpm so it will run way faster, stop wasting your time with that other junk

You can get a brand new 1 TB disk for ~$40-45.

Seagate, WD Blue, and Toshiba all have drives in this price range. And they're quick.

It seems you need plenty storage for your games but you dont have money enough for the best price/performance solution: small SSD + big HD. You should go for the second best option: A good brand $45 1TB / 7200 RPM HD.
