Yeah I built my pc two years ago. Didn’t bother with an ssd, wound up getting 4tb of ssd last year because it needed it (well I thought that’s what it needed, it did need it, but my problem was in addition to dragging over my old hdds I also just kept the same 8gb ram stick, turns out games actually run when you have 32gb ram)
I personally just compensate for my HDD array’s slowness with RAM. Cyberpunk 2077 runs at more than 30fps on an rx580 being loaded off a HDD with 20GB RAM on Linux.
SSDs are expensive, HDDs are not and already exist for blu ray and Linux ISO storage.
