SSD?

[Camm01]

Do I really need an SSD? I don't know much about PC's so can you tell me if I really need an SSD with this build?

And could you please make an estimate on FPS in MC, CS:GO and bf4?

Thanks.

SSDs are great for really fast boot times. They're just in general faster than HDs. However, a lot of SSDs don't handle playing video games well.

As for FPS, I'd say you'd get around 100-150 on MCGamer at max settings, CS:GO I'm not so sure about, and in BF4, you'll get around 90-100 fps.

Thank you! The other storage I have is that an HDD? (Don't hate on me I am a scrub when it comes to computers, trying to learn )

Yep, it's an HDD

DO you need an HDD and an SSD? Or do you just need a SSD.

DO you need an HDD and an SSD? Or do you just need a SSD.

I'd suggest both, but if you want to drop one, drop the SSD.
