So I'm building a gaming PC which is pretty high-quality (CPU: Intel i5-4690k and GPU: GTX 970) so I'm certainly aiming for performance and speed. I'm also future-proofing my machine a bit. Therefore I was wondering if I should buy a 128GB SSD ($75, a 64GB is like $10 less) for just the OS or if I should stick to putting the OS on my 1TB normal hard drive with my games. In other words, what's the benefit of using an SSD besides a faster boot up, and is it a good idea to buy it when future proofing the machine?

I use one SSD for my OS only a 128 gb. since the prices are decent.

On my other computer I have a 250 gb. OS SSD drive , and a few of my most used programs.
