I am doing a meta build to have in the future to complete when I have the money (reasonable pricing only 2k) I am doing a Republic of gamers based computer so what ever is ROG I am puting in there and I have found all that I am able to purchase. Since ROG has a pcie ssd I am going to use that as the OS storage. I am wondering for my game storage should I go for the norm ssd for faster load times or just stay with an hdd.

for games, its usually best to go for a ssd/hdd setup: most demanding games and OS on the SSD, while the rest of the stuff on the hdd. its one of the most cost-effective solutions since SSDs cost much more than HDDs, and you can buy a small SSD and a large HDD for about as much as a medium SSD.

I usually go for a 250 GB SSD and 1TB HDD in my builds (sometimes bigger SSD if required) about 425 for 1tb ssd on newegg, 143 (250 gb ssd) and 89 (1tb HDD) =242 for the SSD/HDD. you can get a 120gb ssd for about 89$ if you want to get better prices and use a smaller HDD as well.

Yup. best price-wise and pretty good performance-wise. (get a 7200rpm or 7500rpm hdd though as they have better performance)
