Here's some info:

I have a 500Gb SSD which I use for games and the OS/programs.
It's split into two partitions at the moment.
HD Sentinal also tells me that the health is at 96% with a #177 Wear Leveling Count error.

I have a 2Tb WD Black drive.

In order to have lots more space, is it advisable to move the games to the HDD and leave the programs and OS to the SSD alone?

I'm not particularly running out of space at the moment, but games are getting bigger so I'd rather make the move now while I rebuild.

Cheers

It's fine to put the games on your WD Black, having the games on an SSD makes almost no difference in gaming performance.

If your games are STEAM based, it is very easy to move them. Otherwise you will need to reinstall the games in order to move them. For STEAM, HERE is how to make changes.
