Hi I am looking to build a new PC and want to know whether to buy a big HDD or get a 128gb SSD. This PC is purely for gaming and nothing else really. Thanks.
SSD v HDD

Most likely be better off getting a larger HDD now and a SSD in the future.

SSD every time, when you eventually run out of space add a HDD
or just add another SSD

Is it really worth it though for just pure gaming. The question i'm really asking is, is it worth the extra £70 or so to boot up 20/30 seconds quicker ?

Get a HDD for now and get an SSD later.

That's not only advantage of having an SSD bro.
Trust me. When you first get your SSD and see your clean install boot up less than 15 seconds. You will never go back to using a HDD.

It the loading of everything not just the OS once you have one you will never look back
it's not just about booting up quicker, paired with a good cpu and nice ram and a really fast vga, a sdd put the icing on the cake and finishes any benchmark score tops, add all the other bits and fit standard hdd's and you wont be.
i never thought i'd need them only playing games, but once tried, i'd never go back, made loads of difference to me and my playing, pc not playing catch up anymore with hdd being the system slow down
