Should I get a SSD

[justin49088]

I'm building a gaming pc soon and i;m not sure if I should buy an ssd, if so how much GB

In my opinion SSD's are standard feature now. Definitely get one.

250Gb is a good number. It leaves a good amount of space for games after OS space.

Yes! SSD's, in my opinion along with many other's, are a requirement for a speedy system. You could start with a 240GB up to a 480ish for a decent amount of storage. If your budget does not allow that then go for a 120GB SSD for your boot drive and buy a regular HDD for storage.

I wouldn't build a new system without one (or more).

I agree all my new builds only use SSD's at least 2.
