Hello guys,
This year i have upgraded some components in my computer such as GTX 750ti (old was GT 430, so old yeah), 8 gb ram (i had 4) and i added SSD disc 128 gb because i hadnt enough money to change my i3 540 3.07 ghz processor.
Now my questions are:
- How much SSD disc affects on my gaming performance beside this old CPU?
- If i want to change my CPU do i have to change my motherboard ( I have P55M-GD45 motherboard and if ) and if i do is it a good solution for my computer and do i have to change any other components if i buy new motherboard and cpu?

The socket for that board is LGA 1156. So find an intel 1156 cpu and it will be fine. SSDs only really affect how fast a game loads in most cases, not fps. GPU/CPU are your best bet for better gaming.

I have one more question. With this processor before overclocking i had about 30 fps in games like h1z1 and rules of survival (battle royal games) and about 30-40 fps in fifa 18. When i changed cpu frequency in bios from 133 to 139 i think (from 3.07 to 3.4) my fps is bigger now. In these battle royal games i have about 60 fps and in fifa more than 60. Also i had 100 percent cpu usage and about 60 percent usage of GPU and after overclocking my CPU i have about 95-99 percent GPU usage most of the time (sometimes smaller) and percent usage of CPU is variable but never bigger than 75. Is it bad and should i restart that settings to default in BIOS? I have MS - 570 power supply and gtx 750 ti.
