I mainly surf the web watch videos and do a lot of gaming so which out of those would you choose? Or is there a even better choice i dont know of?

1. 500 GB Samsung 960 Evo (225€) + 2 GB HDD with 7,200 rpm (70€) here i would need a Mainboard with the PCIE x4 lane which would add (60€) Total of 355€
2. 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo (167€) + 2 GB HDD with 7,200 rpm (70€) Total 237€
3. 1000 GB Samsung 850 Evo (305€)

Would there be much of a benefit in surfing the web/ youtube and gaming with the 960 Evo? The more research i do on PCIE vs Sata the more confused i get.
I think with some management i would be fine with 1 TB but it is still 68€ more for basically 1.5 TB less Memory.

I would personally just grab the 1TB 850 EVO and be done with it. The 960 EVO is definitely faster but the 850 EVO is still a solid SSD and 1TB should fit everything you need with more to spare (i assume unless you have a really big game library). If 1TB would be pushing it too much then option 1 would be fine. Hope this helps :)
