Hey guys, I just got a new computer. And I need a little help :3
-Intel Core i5-3570K
-8gb ram
-120GB SSD OCZ Vertex 3 Solid State Drive
-WD 500gb hd
-ASUS 550Ti

1. Since my SSD is only 120gb. So I can't put much on it, how do I run steam games from another hard drive.

2. Can someone help me set up streaming with OBS please :3

Thanks :)

just use the ssd as an os/power app drive and then map the other drive to like S: or something

http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/windows-vista/Change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

and then you just install steam and all your games on the wd drive. for example i have a 120gb ssd with windows 7 and things like libreoffice/virtualbox installed on it and everything else is on s: which is a 1tb drive

i hope you ran through the optimizations.

and why Vertex 3? there's better drives out there around the same price range aren't there?

Here's the Steam support page...link

Where is this "option"?

EDIT: oh guess it's only these limited games that have it...on steam beta atm?

You have to create a symbolic link/junctions, if you want to keep steam in the SSD and games elsewhere. There are tools out there that can make these for you.
