Hi,so i've been hearing a lot about SSD and how its better than HDD,can someone please explain how is it better for gaming in details and what do you think is a better move getting an SSD or a new GPU ? since i have a limited budget.
i have a GTX 660 1.5GB for GPU and 1TB for HDD.
and how does it work that i just unplug the HDD and set the SSD just like that ?
my main aim is running games in better graphics and performance.
thanks.

Uh, no.

You'd have to install Windows and applications to the SSD.

If you use your PC for absolutely nothing other than gaming, I'd suppose money is better spent on a video card.

You notice the SSD advantages for stuff like start up speed, application loading time, virus scans, and anything that can benefit from faster disc access. If you don't care about any of that, there's no reason to get an SSD.
