So I finished building and installing windows on my pc, I have recently heard that installing windows and all the games on the ssd, would be much more faster?

I am planning on doing YouTube videos so how much Gigabytes do I need? Are there any brands that are good but cheap?

For doing that what would be idea would be the first drive for the OS and programs the 2nd drive for the games and the 3rd drive to record to and exit the videos.

Yes, the games will load faster and better performance in general in windows.

If you do videos, editing or something similar, think in something like 500gb or higher gbs. Brands there is a lot out there, but search for one which is alive after TB or PB writted on it.
