is an hdd still worth it or should i save a little bit more for an ssd

#

depends on your current storage setup

#

and what you need

#

and your budget

get a 2 TB HDD for like $30 and move all programs you don't use very often to it

#

get a fast one and you could record to it

i record 1080p660 to this

#

works fine for me

#

drop $100 or so on a terabyte SSD if you can

#

really it's about prioritizing space or speed

#

it's not a huge change

#

and you'd have any smaller games you play a lot on an SSD

#

if possible, get a 2 TB cheap HDD and a 1 TB SSD

#

but you haven't mentioned any budget

#

what games would you play

#

how much space do you need

#

you wouldn't be able to afford an SSD at that price point

#

i currently do a clean install every month so i have free space

#

that sounds excessive

#

get an HDD now and plan on getting an SSD later (within a year or two, good idea for a birthday gift)

#

that's what i did with very similar storage to what you have now

#

it's worked well
