I was thinking of getting this laptop for gaming, but then i noticed it only had 256GB SSD. Thing is, I have an external hdd of 500GB and was wondering if it would be okay to use it as an SSHD. I mean, would things be slower?

laptop should be good gaming wise. Pretty much the 256GB SSD comes with the computer internally. the external HDD in combination wouldn't make an SSHD (Which is a totally different thing). Are you planning on loading the games from the external HDD if I understand correclt?

Pretty much, yes. Or at least I'd keep files such as photos, music, etc on the external HDD and install the games on the SDD. The larger games, at least.
