i got this gtx 980 and i7 3770 , 8 gb ram and it stuttering like hell in aaa games, because of the old hdd i am sure,when i am playing it always gets to 100/100 and even when i start the pc it sucks as hell with a 100/100 usage, can it be fixed, i tried defragment, disk doctor, and in hd tune it says that my 250 gb hdd sector is damaged, btw it gets to 56 c heat.... so it's a new hdd or nothing ....right ?

If you are getting bad sector errors, then it is a good bet that the drive is starting to die. Instead of wasting time with drivers and a reinstall, you may just want to shop for a new drive.

Am I reading the post correctly that the HDD is 250GB in capacity? You can get a decent 1TB, maybe even 2TB for under $100 bucks from most stores that sell them, even Best Buy if you have to. Heck, you can get a 250GB SSD for around $100-$130 if you shop around. Either way you should see a performance boost with a new drive, especially with the SSD.
