If it is arriving on Monday a bit late to ask for feedback. For performance you could check benchmarks online for games you are planning to play. Not sure if it is still possible but I would suggest upgrading the warranty to at least silver.

It's a slow SSD and you won't get the benefits of the SSHD as you have an SSD as the primary drive, would have personally gone for faster RAM in a system like that, but other than that it's well balanced, should keep you happy for a few years.

Will the ssd or the sshd affect fps in games? Or just the loading times??

No, you won't notice it for gameplay, but for file transfers etc it'll be normal SSD speeds. They're just very expensive for standard SATA speeds, the mainstream nowadays is an M2 drive that runs around 4 times the speeds for the same money. Again, the SSHD will run at standard 7200rpm speeds but you're paying a massive premium for the SSHD SSD partition which you won't use as the SSD in your system will bypass it.

Thank you very much for your answer man, i was scared i'd affect the fps in the games i will play, anyways.. once i get more cash i'd be upgrading the ram etc to faster speed.

That's not really worth it. 3200MHz RAM is arguably worth it over 2133MHz if it's, say, £25 more. But replacing £100+ of RAM you already bought just to get one or two extra frames in most games is pretty poor value.

If one of your favourite games happens to be one of very few that benefits hugely from RAM frequency, and you're prepared to pour £150 more into that game, it could be worth it. Other than that, stick with what you got

 

[Bartosz]

I don't think it does to be quiet honest, PUBG is an CPU intensive game from what i heard, and i only play PUBG and CS:GO.. should be fine i guess.

 

[Oussebon]

That was rather my point, yes.
