I'm just getting started with this forum and not sure if it's the best spot for my questions. I'm thinking about setting up a gaming PC this year, but I'm worried about installing Windows on a 60GB SSD, storing games and programs on another 60GB SSD, and using a 1TB hard drive.

Consider using a 120GB SSD paired with Windows and your existing HDD. Store programs on the SSD, then move games to the HDD for better performance.

Comparing a single 120GB SSD to two 60GB SSDs offers more storage capacity in one unit.

A 60gb SSD for gaming won't store enough games. It also can't hold a full copy of GTA V.

Place the games on the 1 TB HDD and the programs on the SSD.

Choose one 120GB SSD followed by a big HDD for games and heavy applications.

I don't intend to save only the games I frequently play; the less I use, the fewer will be stored on the hard drive.

Opt for the 250GB 850 EVO instead of the 120GB model. Excellent SSD choice.

It's a great deal on the 500GB 850 Evo. I'd definitely buy it and then install games, programs, the operating system, and store less frequently used files on an HD—maybe a WD Black for optimal performance. It'll still be quite solid.
