Can i solve CPU bottleneck with an SSD? Good SSD advice needed if so

[Timbo-Baggins]

I have been told my CPU may need improving due to bottlenecking. I was also advised to buy an SSD. I am on a budget so have wondered if the SSD would reduce CPU strain, or should i prioritise buying a new CPU first? Budget is currently £150.

Secondly, i am unsure which SSD to buy to be sure gaming performance is improved. Will i store my OS and high stress games i will be playing on the SSD?

Specs: AMD FX-4350 quad core 4.2ghz CPU, sapphire r7 260x 2GB GPU, neo eco 520w PSU, 8GB RAM and 1TB hard drive (usually 80% full)
All opinions appreciated

CPU bottle neck happens when the CPU can't deliver the instructions to the Graphic Processing Unit(GPU) faster. This could be solved by Overclocking the CPU.

I Don't think there is any thing that even the best SSD can do in this.

Only CPU Over Clocking is the solution for this. But for over clocking, make sure that you install an after market cooler on the CPU replacing the stock cooler.

Check CPU/GPU usages in games
GPU-Z for monitoring GPU usage http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
Task manger for CPU
Simply if CPU is hitting 100% and GPU drooping below 95% in this same time you need OC CPU

About HDD usage can be high due HDD data fragmentation if you use defraggler https://www.piriform.com/defraggler you probably decrease this issue

I think i will explore overclocking my CPU and see where it leads me. Thanks for taking your time to help me guys i really appreciate it
