New build - 128gb SSD OR 1tb HDD

[haris15]

Hello
In the next week or two i will be building my first PC. It is intended for gaming but i mainly only do MMO based gaming. I wanted to know how much can I store on my SSD if it was running windows 8.1. I should be getting a g3258 and an r9 270 by the way.

Also i may plan on recording MMO gameplay and uploading to youtube too, so I am unsure whether to get an SSD or a 1TB hard drive for the same price. My budget is £40, I have never had an SSD before so I am a bit curious also.

How much space would i have left say if I installed windows 8.1 and Microsoft Office?

128 GB is not enough for recording.

The simple answer is to wait until you can afford both.

After installing Windows and programs, antivirus/browsers game client. You might have 50-60gb left onm the SSD... Nowhere near what you need.

Although I dont know where you will get a fast 1tb HDD for £40 either....

Ok. So you think i should go for a 1tb hard drive? I was thinking of a 1tb seagate
