I am buying a decent PC but i is 50 bucks over my budget so I want to ask which is better to get first. The SSD or the HDD.My SSD would be 240gb or 128gb and my Hdd will be 1TB.So should I get the SSD or the HDD first ? :)

I think he is more worried about running out of space. But yea should definitely get the SSD first. A 1TB hard drive is pretty cheap nowadays and you can always reuse old HDD you have lying around your house.

Or you could just get a 128GB SSD (usually around $50) and get a 1TB HDD (also about $50) instead of the 240GB SSD...

Decades. The thought of SSD's dying early from too many writes is a long gone concept.
