I'm a PC gamer and i'm buying a new PC and I was wondering if I should buy a 1TB SSD or a 2TB Mechanical Hardrive. I know SSD's are faster than hardrives but I was wondering if getting a plan SSD and no Mechanical hardrive will cause a problem. Like buying 1 SSD and no hardrive. Tell me what you guys think and all questions will be appreciated and anything will help thanks :)

Hello... SSD is the best and the price will show that... you can afford a 1gb ssd? O.o most people can't and get a 120-240 SSD with a 1tb-2tb hardrive, cause of price and space needed.

Hello... most computers/motherboards will allow you to keep adding drives as your data grows... up to 6 drives, depends on your case space.

A more common setup would be a smaller SSD, like a 128Gb for your operating system, then a 1T or 2T mechanical hard drive for storage. Having your games on the SSD doesn't improve frames per second. It will reduce loading times, and that is it. The main reason you'd want a SSD is not for gaming, but for windows boot times and responsiveness.

Since the price doesnt seem to be an issue, running only an SSD in your system isn't an issue either, not at that size.
I have a sole 500gb ssd in my laptop. I dont beleive it helps that much in online games. the maps do load nice and quick but I'm still left waiting for info from the server to download; like who is where, what they have on, where npcs are...
