I have a pretty decent machine for gaming, i5 3570k, gtx 660. Currently, I am only running a 160gb hard drive in my computer that was from my old PC. It's about full now, I think I have 4gb free and I was wondering if I should upgrade a hard drive first or SSD first? Whichever I buy first, I will not be upgrading the other drive until I see a great deal in the future.

Here's what I'm looking at(120gb ssd or 1tb HDD)

SSD, load OS/applications and 3 or 4 games you play a lot on it.
Put the rest of your files (ie. pictures, music, other games) on that old hard drive.
Then once you run out of space on that 160gb hard drive, upgrade that to a 1TB!

We're kinda the same (if you take that SSD route!)
I currently have a Samsung 840 Pro 120gb SSD with a Samsung Spinpoint 250gb HDD from my old pc.
I'm going to upgrade my HDD once I run out of space/see a deal.

The speeds of an SSD is SO WORTH IT! Especially at $86! I got mine for $100.
My computer boots up in a little under 10 seconds.
