@Grey_Eyed_Elf: @horgen: @PfizersaurusRex: Thanks!
Your CPU is the weakest part of your system, but loading times depend mostly on HDD. You can try and defragment it and see if it improves anything. An SSD or a hybrid drive would make everything load a lot faster, of course.
I checked my HDD and it doesn't need defragmentation. I wonder then, if I should partition the disk into two just like how it was on my older system.
I looked at the CPUs supported by my motherboard and got my sights on an Athlon X4. Or anything that is just enough to relieve the bottleneck. If that makes any sense.
As someone who still has 8GB RAM I can safely say your HDD is the thing holding your load times back the most, the difference between my HDD and my SSHD is big and the difference between my SSD and HDD is HUGE in load times.
Your CPU on the other hand is a massive bottleneck, that thing is slower than FX 4/6000 series of CPU's which are offer worse gaming performance than i3 3/4/5 series CPU's from Intel.
You can fix your load times rather simply by buying a cheap 250-500GB SSD from Sandisk, Western Digital or Crucial for $120-250.... The CPU on the other hand would cost you a lot more since you would need a new board and new RAM along with a new CPU.
So here are my options, then:
1. Save money for a new motherboard and CPU.
2. Storage/SSD upgrade.
3. CPU (that is supported by my current motherboard) upgrade.
Thanks again, guys.
