I have i3-3217u 1,8 ghz cpu, geforce gt 740m gpu, 4gb of ram and I'm thinking about ssd. Is it worth to put it? Can I run watch dogs or gta v on that laptop on low? I'm asking because of my pretty slow cpu. thanx!

SSD's will speed up your laptop's boot times and will allow you to load applications faster. e.g. Maps will load much quicker on BF4 than a regular hard drive but they do not increase the fps in games

its tough to say as the game hasn't been released, the game runs like low settings on the 360 and ps3 and the spec of your laptop is better, i would say it will run on low, possibly with the view range turned down

I think e1-570g has only SATA2 but it is not a really a problem if you would like to use an SSD with SATA3.
Any SATA3 HDD or SSD are backwards compatible to SATA2, it is only that they will run with SATA2 speed.

Like said above, SSD can not give you more fps and only give you faster loading time like map loading etc. etc. in games.
Loading time is the key, it goes not only for games OS booting will be a lot faster, opening programs will be a lot faster, etc.
SSD is still one of the best upgrades you can get for computers nowadays especially laptops.
SSD consumes less power and more physical shock resistant.
If you can afford it, I would recommend to get an SSD.
