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 :)

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...

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.
