I think I see a sliver of sunlight on the horizon, so I better hibernate. Keep up the good fight folks.

Imagine a HDD is a really slow snail.

Now imagine a SSD is a light particle. It travels at the speed of light.

Thats the difference.

Yea but like what makes it fast?? Like does it allow stuff to load faster? I don't really understand why you need a fast harddrive??

It is, for somethings. Bits of media are usually read consecutively, allowing it to buffer. I this instance not so much. OS and App data grabs bits and pieces from all over the disk so thats where you'll notice a real boost.
Building a new pc, the price is low enough it makes sense. Upgrading, there may be other places you could get more benefit(ram,cpu, etc.)

I was thinking of upgrading... I guess I could upgrade RAM (8 GB right now) or CPU I5 currently but I dunno about upgrading that.

MHO, ram first. You'll get the most gain there.

(this looks fairly comprehensive and shows you drive innards which is cool)

edit to add: if you've already got an i5 and 8GB RAM, using an SSD as the boot drive will def increase the perceived speed of your system.
