I have an 8tb harddrive and 256gb sdd and I want to use them as a game drive on linux. I’m not sure what’s the best method for setting that up is or if it’s even a good idea.

Yes absolutely!
You can set it up with LVM. It’s not exactly hard, but you do need to be able to follow a guide and have an understanding of drives. See https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/logical_volume_manager_administration/lvm_cache_volume_creation for example.
Yep, I’m running this setup. Honestly, I haven’t measured how much better it is than a plain HDD, tho.
