Help with SSD and other questions

[ekaraba11]

Hello, my computer runs very slow when trying to load computer games. I even have to keep games such as LOL or D2 on the lowest possible settings and it still jumps around during game play. will a SSD help with the load times or the game being choppy? It’s not my video card as it’s only about a year old. But, everything else is old. Also, what SSD would work for my PC? Specs below. Thanks

Processor old - Intel(R) Core™ i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz

Ram - 8 gigs

MB - old asrock

VC - NVidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super

your rig will only ever be as fast as its slowest part.

if your bottleneck is I/O to the drive, then yes, a SSD will help.
a SSD will simply be awesome overall, so consider getting one as a bare minimum.

and even though the graphics card may be above average, it is pointless when used on an old mobo that doesn’t have the PCI-x lanes to support it, nor probably does the power supply.

than there is the 2nd gen Core i7 processor. they are up to 12th gen now - more cores, more threads.
