I play World of Warcraft & do fraps recording. I want to purchase a 1 TB hardrive & I own a 180 GB SSD.

Should I install my operating system (Windows 7, possibly 8.1), on a 60 GB SSD that I could purchase. Have my 180 GB SSD I own for the use of recording Fraps & the 1TB Hardrive for any games, music, movies or programs to install.

Here are my system spec’s
Ram- 8GB
Processor- AMD A10-6800K APU 4.10 GHz
Power Supply- 700W
Hardrive- 320 GB Hardrive + 180GB SSD
CPU Cooler- V6 GT
Case- CM Storm Enforcer
MotherBoard- Gigabyte FM2 A85X
Video Card- Geforce GTX 660 Ti 2GB

SSD have near instant seeks. So you could just partition the 180GB drive. 60-80 for windows and the rest for games. Then since traditional hard drives do their best work in sequential reads and writes, just record the video to the 1TB drive

Great I didn't even think to partition the drive. Now do you think a 700 W power supply could be sufficient for this build or go out & buy an 850 W.

PsyKhiqZero your helping me out so much with my build right now I appreciate it very much. Yeah I went into the build thinking I wouldn't buy a Graphics card & instead got the apu. So now I wish I got an Intel Bored with an I7. Do you think I can maximize my performance if I got an Intel CPU & motherboard since I have a GTX 660TI.
