Hi, newb here. I'm building a pc for gaming purposes, and my question will be do games need to be installed in SSD for good performance? Or just a performance HDD will be enough? What the differences will it make between these two?

Since I'm getting a Crucial M4 for my system, do I need to buy a bigger SSD or just a normal HDD like WD Black is good for games like Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Starcraft 2?

Thanks for the feedbacks in advance.

Well then I'm going for Crucial M4 128GB and WD Black 1TB for my storage. I'm currently using i5-3570K paired with Asrock Extreme 4. Now I have WD Green 2TB and 500GB for media storage like movies, songs and etc. But I've read somewhere else that storing media and streaming it on WD Green can make it deteriorates faster. Is it true?
