An SSD is non-negotiable for a gaming PC in 2025—boot times and game loads are just different. This is part of the PC I built/traded story, and it’s the kind of part I always recommend so the system feels fast day one.

Pros

+Faster boot and load times than HDDs
+Easy quality-of-life upgrade

Cons

-Capacity can fill up fast if you install a lot of games
