Hey guys, I want to build a computer that will do some hd video editing (after effects and drawing timelapses in premiere), digital illustration in photoshop and gaming. I have all my parts figured out except for the storage.
Here are my specs so you guys can have an idea of the budget:
I7 6700k
Asus maximus hero VIII
32gb hyperx fury 2133mhz
Gtx 1070 evga
750w corsair psu
Nzxt H440 razer edition
29" ultrawide lg monitor
I was thinking before in getting a 240gb hyperx fury ssd for OS and programs and a 2tb hdd for data.
But then I went to a store where the technician suggested me a 480gb ssd instead of the 2tb hdd (leaving me with a 240 and 480gb one) But, I don't think 480gb will be enough for such a multipurpose pc, and I would like to keep the amount of external storage to a minimum. So probably a 960gb sdd I guess? Can you guys help me out? Is it worth it to get a ssd as main drive or just go with a hdd? I now feel like an hdd would bottleneck such an awesome rig but I don't have much of a real life experience with the difference. I was also thinking about the possibility of getting the 480gb ssd and from time to time transfering the data I am not using to an external hdd so I can still get the speed benefits (at least on more recent data). My dad has a 1tb hdd in his mac for 3 years now and it is barely half full. One of the things that is making it really hard for me is that I don't know how much time it would take to fill 480gb for example, with my purposes. So many possibilities are poping in my head... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
