I recently just bought all the hardware to build my first PC, I've usually bought pre-built and have been gaming on PC for 3-4 years now so i know a little bit, here's my build.

My question is I want to put my OS on the SSD and some programs like Steam, Chrome and a few games i play alot, but i was wanting to still be able to store games on the 1tbHDD and also game from that drive as well, is this possible?.

That is entirely possible, and recommended.

The Steam and Origin clients allow for multiple install locations, selectable at install time.
Other applications, choose the install location at install time. Choose Custom or Advanced, and tell it where to go.

Also, see this:

Once you get the Steam client installed (on the SSD), in Settings it allows you to designate multiple Folder locations for game installs.

This is where mine are currently:
