2.5" Kingston, 240GB with a 540 MB/S read and a 350 MB/S write.
That's what I got as well, with a 256 SSD. Everything has been silky smooth until yesterday when a game stuttered briefly for the first time. I was almost pissed until I realized a Windows update got installed while I was playing, lol.
Does your current router have a USB port on it? If it does, the quick and easy way is to add a portable hard drive to it.
Do you need a second monitor? Those are great for monitoring Twitch uploads if you do that; you can see an image of the stream. Alternative uses might be keeping open programs monitoring hardware health, or game performance. Some keep chat boxes opens. If you don't do any of that stuff, then investing in a 1440p or 1080p/1440p Ultrawide monitor, preferably G-sync, might be worth looking into. The GTX 1070 has the power to go beyond 1080p, but doesn't have quite enough to make it to 4K.

I didn't realize what a juggernaut Overwatch has become on the PC. It's already out-earning CS:GO. I figured its console presence would be larger, but no. I think that probably has to do with its eSports presence:
Overwatch has surpassed 30 million registered players
I suppose it's even more crazy to see to that Crossfire, Fantasy Westward Journey Online II, and Dungeon Fighter Online are all more lucrative than World of Warcraft and DOTA 2. That's sort of mindblowing. One can never overlook or underestimate those Asian markets.

Besides, if you choose this more expensive alternative option emphasizing a different strategy of focus for your personal satisfaction, then you'll still have two screens.
I have a few friends that play it. I don't see the appeal in it either, but to each their own. I've never even heard of Fantasy Westward Journey 2.
Yeah, I'm not sure what microtransactions generate their revenue, and they're a F2P game that isn't on Steam, so it's easy to overlook, but that game is huge. It's currently ranked #8 on Newzoo's 20 Most Played Core PC Titles (US & Europe), and it always ranks in their Top 10 eSports (globally) viewing hours on Twitch, too:
Forever the king of a la carte paid subscriptions. Apparently they got back up to 10.1m active subscriptions on the back of Legion last October, too, although the new in-game gold buy-in option obfuscates how many are paying subscriptions.
I hadn't either before I saw that chart. That tells you something. I'm not happy what it tells me. I've already been pissed off by what it's done to my movies with hackneyed Drunken Kung Fu master bullshit disgracing my beloved Star Wars. #1, #3, and #6 have wildly different ideas about what gaming should be, obviously:
Donnie Yen was fucking awesome in that movie.

It's probably less profitable per gamer because going back five years it has arguably the largest player base in the world-- even larger than League of Legends:
World of Tanks tops League of Legends with 45 million players (Dec-2012)
With 140 million players fueling World of Tanks, where does it trundle next? (Mar-2016)
