Just install the certain steam games that you want on it by when clicking download change your install location to the ssd if you want your games on that.

When you install with steam there's an option to select where to install to, you just have to look for that and choose what drive. Steam will create a folder structure on each drive you install to. Splitting up an existing collection is a bit harder than installing them fresh though.

Steam is good at finding local files though, for example I copied my old steam folders over my new one when I swapped hard drives and when I install a game it usually finds the files already on the hard drive and uses them instead of downloading again.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from deadrobloxer : "How to put steam games on SSD"

Hi!

I am going to get the Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB SSD for my birthday (May 7). I was wondering for when I get it, instead of putting all of my steam games onto the SSD how do I put certain steam games onto it?

First create a folder on the new SSD.
Start Steam.
In the top left corner you'll see 'Steam', click on that, then the 'Settings' button in the box that opens.
In the settings box, click the 'Downloads' option this opens a new pane at the top there's the option 'Steam Library Folders' which opens yet another small pane, there you can navigate to your new drive, select the folder and add it to the list of folders Steam will install to. Once done you'll see that folder along with your main C:/Program, Files(x86)Steam folder in the install locations Steam offers when you begin the install, just select which you want to install to.
You are free to change locations as you wish, I have games on both my C: and E: drives.

On the second option to move existing games, it says go to the properties of the game and click local files and then you said to click "move install folder" however I don't see any button that says that. Do I clikc browse local files and just drag the entire thing over to the SSD?

I just checked my Steam client, and those are still the exact steps.
