Hey, I'm building a PC for determined budget. For the price, with the components I have, I can get either a 2tb hdd or a 500gb ssd. I don't store a lot of videos or photos, and already have a 250gb ssd for the os.
It is a gaming PC, so which storage should I get ?

Although the size of a HDD is handy. If you're primarily storing games, SSD is the better option. It has faster read/write times, will move files alot faster and I've heard it sightly affects gaming for the better. SSD's last longer aswell, due to the HDD having moving parts + the disc inside. My HDD corrupted the other day, can't fix it and have to buy a 2nd SSD for the sake of not needing to replace anything again.

Sure mate. Even having multiple adobe applications like Photoshop, After Effects will only take up 3gbs. You'll be absolutely fine. I doubt you'll ever need to upgrade to a 3rd hard-drive in the future unless you're storing like 100 games on it.
