Will Intel Optane Help even if I have an SSD?

Hey guys, so I recently just finalized the parts for my build and was gonna order everything. I have about $60 left and I was just thinking of getting an M.2 Intel Optane. But I already have an SSD for Windows so my question was will my M.2 increase the read/write speed of my HDD significantly? And if so, will it boost performance on the games stored on that HDD and if so, is the price justified? Sorry if my question seems stupid, I'm just new to Intel Optane lol.

Thanks in advance!

Not really.
The Optane cache memory is meant to speed up an HDD, and only the boot drive.

You'd be using a slightly faster SSD to speed up an SSD.
No real benefit.
