I just bought a WD Blue 3D NAND 250gb Pc Ssd. Will this make my pc faster and load things faster too like games?

Yes your Pc should be faster.

As for "load":

Games will go from SSD to memory etc. faster.

Should help with download speeds as well provided there are no other bottlenecks involved. I.e., ISP speed, network speed.

Performance is determined by the slowest component involved.

Be sure that your system meets, and hopefully, exceeds the installation requirements/specifications for the WD Blue 3D NAND SSD.

Yes.
But...
It will not make games or applications faster, it'll just make load/save operations and booting quicker.
Also bear in mind, you will not be able to transfer your current Windows install and software to the SSD unless you can shrink the current HDD main partition ( the 'C ' drive ) to below 250Gb.

You can't transfer "only windows" and "a few games".
There is no pick and choose like that. Mostly, all or nothing.

How much space is currently consumed on your HDD?
Do you have another drive...internal or external?

Well...that's not going to work with a 250GB target drive.
If you can move stuff OFF that HDD, to get to below 200GB actual consumed space, you can migrate to the new SSD>
Otherwise...either clean install on the SSD, or just use it as a secondary drive.

I can care less about the stuff on my pc cause it new. I won’t mind re-installing things. I’ll just download windows to a flash drive and then put it on my ssd.
