What makes you think this? Are you getting an error message? If so can you post a screenshot?
Can you post the specs of your build?

okay so its the hard drive.
Do you know the specs.. from the computer from when you bought it? what details of the build are?
If you dont know much about computers i am sure you can contact PCS and they might be able to add another hard drive for the cost of the hard drive and a installation fee
500 GB SSD isnt very big.. the other option is deleting stuff from the hard drive and backing stuff up.

As above, if you can take a screenshot of the error you’re getting?
I'm not getting an error yet. Was just looking at ssd drive. It said 5gb left of 490gb

In that case if you go to your order page on the main PCS website and select upgrades, you can order a secondary 7200rpm HDD, I’d recommend 2GB. It’s easy to fit yourself, we can take you through it if you need.

Gaming isn’t affected by storage other than loading times. HDD is fine for games. SSD obviously better but at a significant cost increase.

An HDD would be sensible. A 2TB HDD is £50. A 3TB HDD is ~£70. A 2TB SSD is £200.
What I strongly recommend you do is add an HDD, and then use Steam to move games between the drives as desired so that only the current favourite games are on the SSD.
You can set up a Steam Library on the new Hard Drive:
support.steampowered.com
and within steam, move games between the drives. Right click on a game in steam, click properties. Select Local Files tab. Click "Move install folder" and move it to/from the SSD. That easy.
In the meantime, uninstall a game or two as the PC will not like running with a literally full drive!
