So I'm currently planning out my FIRST PC build, and I'm kinda in a dilemma.
Do I go for a GTX 1050 with a 120GB SSD ( ONLY GOING TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON IT, NOTHING ELSE), or I sacrifice the SSD for a GTX 960? Sorry if this is a noob question this is my first build

i would get an ssd - even though 120gb is squishy - as the speed boot alone is enough for me never to use hdd again (even with optane). You should put applications on there that would need to be reinstalled with windows but games, music, pictures, etc should all go on a 2nd drive. I only have a 250gb ssd yet only using 51gb off it,

I don't know what performance difference is between a 1050 & 960 but I don't think its enough to be noticeable. You more likely to notice difference with the ssd, it may not help with games though.
