Over my head. Wanted to split to boot camp on SSD part but research tells me fps won't actually be improved. Like the idea of not worrying about management so prob not splitting now. If need be will set up RAM disk for steam games when in Windows.

A fusion drive is basically a cache between your SSD and your HDD. It's powered by a special driver that manages the movement of data between the two. So if CPU power is your top priority, you will gain a bit by splitting it, but only a bit.
Fusion drives work well with small files, but less well with big ones, so power users using big files are better off avoiding them as there will be annoying starts and stops as the system is moves big chunks of data to accommodate new files. Also fusion drives use HFS+ which increases the risk of corrupted files, and because there are two drives combined your risk of a drive failure increases by 100% so you should always back up if you do use them.
