I am getting parts for a computer i am going to build tomorrow and it would be really nice if i could save some money becuase its looking a little pricy right now. I am getting two drives, a 1 TB Hard Drive, and a 120 GB SSD for 129.99. I was wondering if i really needed the SSD for gaming like minecraft and gmod and things like that or if i could just stick with the HDD im getting OR possibly increase the size of the HDD if i need to. Plz try to answer quickly because like i said before i am getting my parts tomorrow so thank you for helping me out.

You don't need an SSD, but it's good to have. As an OS drive it'll increase system responsiveness nicely.

You won't need more than a 1TB HDD for games...that's quite a lot of storage when you think about it.
