I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: an SSD is a de facto necessity for any modern gaming PC. Games likeStarfieldandCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyare the starkest evidence for this, what with their tendency to stutter unplayably when installed on a hard disk drive, but really, SSDs are just massively faster in almost everything you could think to use a PC for. HDDs are cheaper per GB, but just 1TB is fine for a solely gaming-focused rig, and with these Cyber Monday deals you can get that much space – or more – at a bargain price.
