    I can't google an answer. I am getting an SSD in about a week and wanted to know what effects it will have on system CPU, GPU, and temps. Thanks.

    If anything, it will increase the load on the CPU, as it will be able to supply data to it faster than the HDD. Really though, the effect on CPU, GPU, and temps will be minimal.
