I put a small ssd in my first gen i7 build.  I had to symlink certain directories to the spinning drive to save space, but it was so much faster, that when it died at a year old, I went ahead and bought a bigger drive that I didn't have to worry about.  I don't think I've put a spinning drive as a primary in any computer I've built or touched since and definitely the first thing I recommended to people since.

Night and day difference.  Going from SSD to NVME/PCIe less so, but that makes a big difference in build times.
