My First Gaming System Build

[donarvin]

Hey i am currently looking to build a system, mainly for gaming. Ordering later this week. Ive done a lot of looking at different parts and so far, this is what i have come up with

I still cant decide on the case as there are a few i like.
Also a person suggested that i should get the Samsung SSD Pro over the regular, however how much difference in speed is there?

Another thing is once i have the ssd and hdd, is there a good way to decide on which games should be on each, or is it basically personal choice?

Looks like a pretty solid build!

I'm not sure you would really notice that much difference in speed between those two drives. Not really worth the price difference IMO. Even "slow" SSDs beat the pants of mechanical drives.

I have an SSD and regular mechanical drive in my system. I use the SSD for the 4-5 games I know I will play frequently, and the mechanical for media storage and other games that don't get regular play.

Ah ok thanks, yer its like an extra 60$ and thought it wasnt really worth that much. Also with an SSD when using games, does it just really make them load faster or are there other benefits to the games by using them?

It does make them load much faster. I barely have time to read the Loading Screen tips on Skyrim! 😀 Quick load times are the main benefit, however there could be others...maybe a reduction of texture/model "pop-in" if you have low VRAM.

Thanks - i guess most of my games are multiplayer online, so some may load faster, but still have to wait for other players

Yeah, not much you can do about that 😀 Good luck!

Don't forget to pick a best answer!
