320GB or 160GB Hard drive for GAMING?

LuvdemTacos · May 27, 2016

So im confused on which to get. Im afraid 160GB wont be enough for me and i dont wanna be deleting stuff everytime i wanna download something new just because i dont have enough storage space. On the other hand, if i get the 320GB HDD, its pricier.
I'll be using my PC for playing games like CSGO and DOTA2 and be storing music in itunes. (Im not playing any other games other than those 2 atm)

So what do you people think? Will the 160GB be enough or should i go with the 320GB? The HDD is a Western Digital SATA2 btw.

Personally I wouldn't go less than 1TB. You can find 7200RPM 1TB drives for ~$60, while a 320GB will usually set you back ~$35

Ill only be using this PC for CSGO, DOTA2, and 60-70 songs in itunes. Will 160GB be enough or should i opt for the 320GB

In the future look up 250GB SSD for your OS and most used games (SSD's have high read speeds so everything loads super fast) then use a 1TB for your big games, other software and data.

Oh i forgot to mention..im on a realllyy realllyy TIGHT budget..so the options are ONLY the 160GB or 320GB HDD. (i prefer the 160GB if possible)

LuvdemTacos :

Get the largest you can afford, but make sure it's 7200RPM. Seriously though, try to get 1TB just in case you decide you need to do more with your computer. It's only a few bucks more.

The 1TB version is like a $30 increase here..so a big nono

Save your money. Get the 1TB. 160 or 320 will make you uninstall and reinstall games soon enough.

I decided to go for the 160GB version since CSGO and/or DOTA2 will take only like a maximum of 25-30GB of storage space which would be enough

LuvdemTacos :

$30 is nothing really, skip the pub twice and you're set. It's well worth it in the long run
