Hey! Building a gaming PC, wondering what a good 8 gig set of ram is, also I have a old 2 TB hard drive and I was going to get a 250 gig SSD to go along with it, but in another forum someone recommended a SSHD, any recommendations on what I should go with? Thanks!

if you are willing to provide a rough price range for what you are looking for, some people here may be glad to help you find a complete build.

Sorry, I have all my parts found except a set of ram and a hard drive. For ram i guess about 90 would be my max for 8 gigs, hard drive around 150 if you recommend a SSHD, and around 150 for a 250 gb SSD, thanks!

personally I would go for a discrete SSD and a discrete HDD like above rather than a combined SSHD, I don't see the benefits of having a single point of failure rather than two
