I see several build suggestions above that include a common practice of "boot/app drive" and "storage drive." This drive configuration is only advantageous to those who understand how to utilize it correctly, and are willing to maintain it. This is a machine being built for someone who is more than likely NOT a computer enthusiast level user. Such a build suggestion is reckless and does not take into consideration the needs of the end user very well. Worse, is the reality that for the price of buying both a ~60GB SSD, AND a mechy, a single SSD large enough to cover the needs of the system could be implemented instead.
~60GB SSDs are also a terrible value these days. The $/GB is absolutely in the trash compared to 120-256GB options.
Either get an SSD large enough for the system as a whole, or skip it. For this build, a dual drive approach will lead to tension between the builder and the user in the long run.
