Are these specs good for each other and will this work good with PUBG and other new games?

Which hard drive should i get? people say that SSD is alot better but i dont know the difference.

Is the seagate firecuda hybrid SSD good?
 
Solution
should be fine. my old rig can handle pubg that will be no issue (speaking for 1080p)
SSD all the way. the difference in a nutshell is speed. killing floor 2 takes 2.5 minutes to load from my WD black 1tb, or 45 seconds off my ssd.

the firecuda is an HDD that has a tiny SSD that is uses as a cache. you would be better served by a 250GB SSD and larger HDD.

PSU is junk, a SSD would be a good choice however your missing a dedicated graphics card and you won't game very well off the iGPU on the CPU. The Hybrid Hard Drives are ok but your better off with a SSD (OS)/HDD (Games/files) combo.

What is your budget?

^ Agreed, PSU is pretty poor.

CPU is a great gaming option but, without a discreet GPU, it's not going to get you far - certainly not in PUBG or other "modern" titles.

An SSD is substantially faster. The Hybrid drives are typically 5400rpm drives with low SSD caches inside (8GB maybe). Over time it'll learn your habits and commonly used programs etc will be "fast", but everything else (non commonly used programs, programs/games that are >8GB etc) will be pretty slow.

The 3000MHz DDR4 is a bit overkill for an Intel-based gaming setup - although certainly not a 'bad' thing.... might just be a bit of extra funds freed up fora GPU etc.

Is this a pre-built from a boutique OEM builder? Or something you're looking to put together yourself?
