What is better : A high-end HDD 1TB for 50-60$ or a less storage HDD and an SSD for gaming
I have been looking for the best hardware i can have to make a gaming budget under 700$I choosed high end hardware, as you will see at my PC specs but i am really confused because i don't know which can offer me better performane, a good HDD without SSD or a cheap HDD and a cheap SSD as well?
Before i buy my PC, I asked a developer to tell me how to improve the pc I already had.
He told my not to change the HDD I had (256Gb) but buy a SSD 128Gb.
After some days i decided to build my own pc and not upgrading my old one because I wanted something better.I wanted it to be less than 700$ but the HDD i choosed was 1TB and i had no money left for a SSD.I don't really mind the storage, I need as much performance as possible.What shoud I buy?

You should go with mechanical HDD for game storage, but if the game like Battlefield 4 is demanding speed for loading times! then install the games on SSD which will want to load faster! some games aren't necessarily in SSD!

can i increase my intel atom's speed by setting the reg_dword walue of my Mhz in regedit (which is unlimited ;D)
it is set to max, 1662 mhz.What would happen if i increased it, would it be like an overclock or would the cpu just overheat and burn my components
