Acer Nitro 5 An515-53-55g9 I5, 256 ssd GTX 1050 TI Ram upgrade and Hard Drive Add ons

Hi, So just purchased this Labtop and will use it for gaming and general office work and personal work
It comes with 256 ssd.. Will adding a additional 1 tb Hdd help with storage or should I add another 256 SSD..
Now I heard with the SSD windows and programs work lightning fast.. Now having the additional HDD I can add pics files and movies ..
Now my question is if I add games to the HDD to save space will games run slow .. I know they will take longer to launch but how about in game performance will it suffer
Also is 8 gb Ram good enough for basic multi tasking and general play ..
If so what type of Ram can I get to add thats compatible and Hard drive ect.. Need to tell geek squad what to use for upgrading
..

Hello, any chance to have an optane memory + HDD + SDD? (“design reserve for Intel Optane” means that I can have both, ssd and optane in that slot?

Thank you
