    Well basically is what the title says, so what would be better for playing games and performance in general? In my case the examples would be 750GB/7200RPM+128GBCrucial or 2x750GB/7200RPM. Thanks so much.

    You won't find fps increase using an SSD, but loading times will be exceptional. Loading times for programs, files, and boot will be faster also. With SSD, you can still store your data and media on the HDD and enjoy.the faster response of the operating system.

    SSD+HDD all the way.
