I just got finished building a computer two days ago and I've noticed it starts up really slow. Can someone help me and tell me how I can make it load faster? Here is the link to my hard drive. How can I put my OS on a hard drive by itself? & games on a SSD?

well, best solution is to get an ssd. put the os there along with a few games (due to limited space)
but, newly built rigs should boot fast (it gets slower over time though as you install apps)

Either get an SSD for the OS or simply live with it. Or buy a faster-booting OS (WIndows 8).

Crucial M500s. But yea, that drive honestly you're playing with fire using a refurbished hard drive as your primary, always backup crucial data (you should anyway), but especially with a refurb drive.

Yea, it kinda seems to me like you cheaped out on the hard drive, I wouldn't have personally. Even a better mechanical drive would perform better than that refurbed 5900 RPM drive.

If an SSD is out of the budget, I'd look at something like a WD Caviar Blue or Black.
