Hi there, quick question,

Building based off on Apollo...

Right now, I want to choose between a couple of choices, I'd like your inputs

Default choice: : 500gb SSD Samsung EVO + 1 TB WD Black edition = $2225

Alt #1: 1TB Samsung EVO SSD + 1 TB WD Black edition = $2422 ($197 more than default)

Alt #2: 512 gb 950 pro + 1 TB WD Black edition = $2425 ($200 more over default)

Alt #3: 500gb EVO + 500gb EVO as secondary = $2336 ($111 more than default)

Alt# 4: 1Tb EVO + 500gb EVO as secondary = $2533 ($308 more than default)

Alt #5: 512 gb PRO + 500gb EVO as secondary = $2419 ($194 more than default)



Given these 5 choices, and all you do is just to play games and surf the web, which would you chose? why?

Me being superficial obviously like #2 with the newest 950pro but I am getting less space than #1 and i might not notice the difference anyways since i play dota and starcraft.

but i do want to hear your thoughts. Thanks guys!

950 is an m.2 card the 850 is a sata card, no comparison, 950 smokes the 850.

HDD/SSD1 = fast small drive: os/apps/games

HDD/SSD2 = regular large drive: media/personal/work file storage/games(if ssd)

so 950 for ssd1 and 1tb 850 pro for ssd2

if you don't want to do that then go with a 250g 850 pro for ssd1 and 1tb ssd for ssd2.
