FYI, if you're moving games to an SSD, you're in for a treat with those load times!
It's actually pretty easy to move your game files to another drive on Steam. Just open Steam, go to your Library, right-click the game you want to move, and select 'Properties.' From there, go to the 'Local Files' tab and click on 'Move Install Folder.' Select the new drive where you want to move the game, and voila, Steam will do the rest!
Been there, done that. Moving game files in Steam is a lifesaver when you're running out of space. First off, make sure you've added a new library folder on the drive you're moving stuff to. You can do this in 'Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders.' After that, follow the steps to move the game as described in the first answer. Super smooth process.
