For the past 5 years I have lagged behind in purchasing games due to money concerns. Now I have a great job and would like to reward myself by playing current games.
I chose to do an SSD only. I currently have a 150 gig drive and have not had any storage issues. Do you all see any obvious mistakes? What should I change? Thank you in advance for any input!
