Is this CPU any good?

Also Is it really worth to Upgrade from HDD to SSD?

Now after upgrading cpu will have:
6970 radeon videocard
i5 3350p
some 7200rpm regular 250gb hdd
4gb ram

I had once ssd before 3years. but the speeds were like 170mb/s read and only 35mb/s write , it kinda did increase speed by very small margin , but it was only 40gb ssd and 25of it took up operating system and had only like 10gb left which was just stupid as fuk.

Now can get 120gb SSD for £53 from:

120gb seems like enough space for me, but wanted to know what kind of performance increase I can expect from such HDD to SSD upgrade?

It's a highly recommended upgrade, few who have SSDs ever want to go back to a HDD. It's not going to give you better fps or anything, it will just make Windows and all your programs load up faster. The newer units have much better write speeds, theoretically reaching over 10x what you saw with your last SSD.

Not to defend the OP's use of the term, which is silly, but that's kind of extreme. Poverty is often simply not buying any extravagances, or just making a sufficiently low income. FI, the poverty state many religious live in allows quite comfortable lives, but forces them to be fairly light on personal property, sometimes to point of having practically none, and to forgo luxuries.

Though, I do wonder if maybe the OP might actually be oblivious...

Though I always buy computer parts used. There's no reason to get a new i3 in the box when an old one will work just as well.
 
An SSD with the OS installed on it will be much snappier as it will be able to read and write the kinds of files that slow most HDD's right down to 0.2-0.3MB/s about 100 times faster.

So no more waiting 3-5 mins for the operating system to load.

The actual max read and write speeds are negligible as they rarely impact your everyday performance.

If I were you I'd have an SSD for Windows and maybe a couple of games. It will mostly benefit games and apps that have a lot of small files.

You can still use the other drive for storage and other games/apps. Even those will most likely load faster as they no longer have to compete with the OS for throughput.

nicely said bro.. In addition, SSD are becoming cheaper now but I don't think that they will be at the same price as with hard drives as that will destroy the HDD market.

Since your 250GB drive could use an upgrade anyway, and your budget is very tight, I think you'd like Seagate's SSHD hybrid drive as much as I do! It's not quite SSD speed, but it's significantly snappier than your standard hard drive! 1 or 2TB with a tasty speed boost across the entire drive, and a price only a tiny bit more than a plain drive alone.

was checking these out as well, but after few reviews all they are good for are for booting up windows and loading some common used files, Just plain regular hdd other then that.
