Haha that was luck, I just searched for gaming optimised HDD and
WD_BLACK came out top.

There's no such thing as a gaming optimized hard drive.  Get the WD
Blue 8TB drive instead.  It's also a CMR drive, you just save money by
getting a blue sticker instead of a black one.
 I see, hmm, wonder why I see so much discussion on the topic. I'll check
out the basic stats between WD_BLACK and Blue versions.
 
You really don't want to be playing games off a hard drive anyways
these days.  It's fine for older games and smaller ones, but most new
games list an SSD as a requirement.
 Good tip, I'll check requirements when deciding the drive to install on.
He has a lot of older games, or things like Ravenfield, Minecraft,
slower moving games.
 
You can use the hard drive to
store the games you're not playing though, as Steam makes it easy to
move installed games from one drive to another.
 Another good tip thanks. Never thought of that, it would certainly make
swapping AAA games around faster.
  EVERYONE WHO GAVE ADVICE ON MONITORS:
 I wish I could afford two monitors, two 27" or two 32" would be epic.
Unfortunately, I can afford only one 27" or maybe can stretch to 32".
Another upgrade added to Wishlist.
 
Advice like that is always divorced from real world economics.  :)
