but honestly if the OP is interested in WoW and specifically load times, my SSD's made a huuuuge difference in load times. there pretty much isnt any lol

The WD Blacks move data about as fast as the Raptors. The access times are what are shorter. Having a Raptor or an SSD vs your basic 7200rpm hard drive will give you faster loading times for games and applications. You may get a couple (maybe) more FPS in games. You just have to decide if shelling out a couple hundred bucks for a raptor or SSD is worth not waiting as long, though the waits have never been that long anyways.

I actually need to take an updated picture as I put a GT240 in for dedicated Physx / HDMI out to a TV.

It's old but I can get a couple more years out of it except for a GPU upgrade in another year or so.
