I use a 500GB HDD and i find it fine.

But 1TB isn't much more and is double the size.

When you have over 10games, it takes up a little space.

When you're like me and have almost 65, it takes up a lot of space.

I don't even have most of them installed.

A lot of my space is taken up by regular documents.

I went through 1TB about 4-5months into my first PC.

The one I built now has 8TB and I have 2 2TB Externals for backups.

Also, you can never have too much space.

(Unless you go above 10TB then you have way to much)

Lol 65 games installed all at once?

Seems a bit extreme. I got my 500GB with around 25 games on it. which i play about half of them.

They were all great I couldn't choose

lol.

I did uninstall a lot of them though.

OT: Try to keep the number of installed games between 1-5. If you haven't played a game in weeks, uninstall it. No matter how good it is.
