I'm going to get 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD. I'm going to use the SSD for games and OS and HDD for storage. Will the SSD last me a while?

To be honest, only you can really answer that question. We have no idea how many games you own or currently want to download and play.

Your OS and programs will take up about 50gb of your SSD, so that leaves you with 200GB to play with, with your average game these days taking up 15gb. So, thats enough room for about 15-16 games (though games like Total War, Battlefield, WoW etc can reach up to 30gbs on their own).

So its really down to you to decide whether that's enough for you :)
Dpends on your games and you needs. I've been working on picking out parts for a new machine for this upcoming spring and I was thinking of using a 1TB SSHD for my boot drive and data storage and then a 256GB SSD dedicated just to the things I want to go fast.

I'm using a 250GB SSD and 1TB hard drive right now and I think it's plenty of space. I have Counterstrike and some other games on my SSD and everything else on my hard drive, and my hard drive is only about half full.
