Hi, I want to assemble a gaming PC for 500 euro because I don't have much money. Now I choose the storage space of the SSD. I want to install Windows 10, Minecraft, SEA of Thieves, CS: GO and Battlefield V. Can I use a 240GB SSD (I really don't have the money for a bigger one)? Or should I save on RAM and take 8GB 2400Mhz instead of 16GB 3000Mhz, but get a 512GB SSD instead?
240 GB should be enough for now. If necessary, you can get a cheap HDD later
Well, the space will be enough, but the SSD is already half full or something. Would still get a 1TB hard drive for other games or things. They usually only cost around 50 euro. 1TB I think there's also for 30 euro. And when it comes to games that should load quickly, you put them on the SSD
It's cumbersome, but otherwise you can only get a large SSD for a lot of money.
How can I actually decide where the games will go?
240gb will probably not be enough if you don't want to keep deleting something.
So either save a bit more for a larger Ssd or a small SSD just for the system plus buy an Hdd for the rest.
You shouldn't save on RAM because it has an impact on performance
Maybe I should save on RAM?
Is running out. Windows is relatively slim and needs less than 10 GB. Minecraft itself is also very little, because then the savegames and additional content punch in. CS: GO needs approx. 20 GB and SoT and BV together another 100 GB.
With a few other programs that you need in everyday life, you are at 150 - 180 GB. The remaining 70 GB sound a lot at first, but are quickly lost in everyday life. Packing the SSD up to Maximun shortens its lifespan.
I would rather recommend a 500.
Oh sorry
This is usually already possible during the installation, where you can choose where the game should be installed.
You build it too high you won't need 16 GB of RAM! 4 or 8 are enough and not just for playing!
Also this hard disk is much too small because there are a lot of games with eg 10-30 gb of storage space!
As an alternative, you can also get an external hard drive to store the games there, for example, there are already from 40 euro and in the offer it can be that you can get around 60 euro for an external in the Tera area!
"4 or 8 are also sufficient" 4? DEFINITELY NOT
8 is enough, scarce and Boyfriend V has 84GB, CS: GO has 22GB, Sea of Thiefs has 27GB and Win needs about 30GB for me
So it gets very tight
Exactly, or copy afterwards. But if you say from the start that Boyfriend 5 should load quickly, then you select the SSD as the installation location and you're done.
