Using no SSD is a waste of time. Sorry, I want my games to run AND load fast. At least it's a noticeable effect unlike a 5930k over a 4790k which will net you nothing in performance. |
Nobody is telling him to use no SSD, Just that the few seconds you can save running from SSD in 90% of games isnt worth the stress of changing multiple components, and for the few that do benefit from ssd you can install those to an ssd anyway.
the sequential read/write of both types arent that different, especially in cases where games are loading large blocks of data from a single file, where SSD excells is handling parralel and multi-file access, where it obliterates mechanical.
If he has already bought the system (which he has), swapping the entire guts out just to have more ssd space doesnt seem logical at all, and If i were in his shoes, I would rather stick with the more modern platform then mess about swapping it out to save a few bucks and buy more ssd capacity.
Additionally, not even that far in to the future, new directx and OS's that leverage the additional memory bandwidth while fine tuning use of the cpu will play a bigger role in the overall system.
the 5xxx line along with DDR4 make a significant difference to the CPU's L1 cache speeds, too.
