SSD or 7200rpm hdd

josipmiladinovic66 · Aug 20, 2017

I have fx 8120 at 4ghz ,palit storm x 1 gb gddr5 and 8gb hyper x red 1600mhz ram,but also 2 HDDs that are old and they are 5400rpm .Rig is good for gaming and I get 60+fps in most games at adjusted settings but some games stutter and are suffering significant fps drops,Question :will new HDD @7200 rpm or an m.2. ssd help at all and if it will ,and I'm on tight budget so only 1tb hdd @7200rpm or 120gb m.2.ssd are my options.

An SSD to put your OS on would make general computing faster and more enjoyable, although you never specified your gpu so it may just be your system is getting old and is thus unable to perform well on newer titles.

No you will not see a gain in FPS by swapping from an HDD to an SSD.
You will see a decrease in loading screens in games but thats it.
For more FPS that is down to hardware like GPU, CPU and RAM. In that order normaly

Windows boot times, open programs, multi task, file transfers, etc etc will be mutch faster.

sorry ,but game stuttering is happening to me only in open world games when it needs to load a new chunk of map,

Look at your CPU usage. It might just be that you are bottle-necking it. Or that your cpu temps are to high so it throttles down in speed to reduce heat output.
