Clarification Request
Well chosen for what?

It looks like one of those high end gamers but not quite there for high end UHD (4k) gaming.

What's not to like here? The storage. In my opinion, eject the HDD and put the money into a larger SSD. The numbers I see let you move to a more suitable 500GB SSD which will host all known game selections I see on user PCs today.

I can't guess why the mix of HDDs. My bet is you own one of those. Keep that one.

My choice on gamer PCs. 1080p and maybe 100+ Hz displays.
