My pc takes about 15-20 sec to load on the win logo screen, is it normal? Is there anything wrong, because I saw some vids showing SSD's and on the win logo part they took about 5 sec to load.
 
Go into Task Manager, click on the Startup tab, and see how many programs you have loading at startup.
Disable any program(s) that you feel are not necessary to run at startup and that should improve your boot time.

Also, what is your motherboard model?

In this SSD I have my OS which is a win 7 64 bit and crysis 3 on it, is that the reason why it's taking time to load?
my motherboard is a gigabyte 990FXA-UD5

run msconfig.exe and click the startup tab.
Everything in there with a checkmark next to it will load during the windows logo time so the less that loads the faster you will be at your desktop. When you see a 5 seconds boot time on youtube that would be one bare system with nothing loading except windows. Keep in mind that your antivirus probably would be doing a startup scan and windows itself would be checking for and running USB devices.

To me, 15 seconds is good, that would be 30 seconds on a harddrive.

Also, run and post your AS-SSD benchmark (of the SSD) please and thanks.

in the startup tab it shows the limit time to boot as 30 sec, if I lower it to 5, is it going to improve anything?

And the bench results are these
