4TB HDD or 500GB SSD?

Western Digital Caviar Blue 4TB
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB

Both at the same price, right now on my AMD Radeon R3 240GB I have Battlefield 1 and Rainbow Six: Siege, there's only 51GB of space left, but I'm worried if the HDD will give really slow system performance and stuttering in games since I'm spoiled with SSD performance in my system (I don't use any HDD, I have Patriot Blaze 120GB for Windows 10 and AMD Radeon R3 240GB for games).

Current PC:
Intel Core i3-4160 3.6GHz
Gainward GeForce GTX 960 2GB GDDR5 OC
Kingston HyperX Fury 2×4GB DDR3 1600MHz
Patriot Blaze 120GB (Windows 10)
AMD Radeon R3 240GB (Games)
XFX TS 550W

Planning to upgrade to:
Intel Core i5-8400/i7-8700 (Maybe wait for i5-9400/i7-9700 - heard there's gonna be a core count raise)
Keeping the GTX 960 until new GPUs arrive
Crucial 2×8GB DDR4 2400MHz

Your Haswell build is still good for another couple of years imo. I have a 4690K with a 1080 Ti. I used to have a GTX 970 FTW and did the research. After about 9 months of saving and researching I couldn't justify all the added expense a coffee lake build would bring. I recommend the 4790(k) for you.

The 500GB Is my recommendation due to your history.

My current build is terrible to be honest, major stuttering in Battlefield 1 whatever settings I use, the game eats more than 12GB RAM, 4GB VRAM and gives even the i5 8400 100% usage (That's why I considered the i7-8700 or wait for i7-9700 cuz I heard it's gonna have 8c/16t), gives me headaches... Playing on 1080p also. (Btw, I didn't have stuttering issues in previous PC, I'm saying that because I've heard on the net that people have stuttering issues on HDD, maybe they don't realize it's their PC or is it really HDD?)
