You will see a dramatic speed increase in boot time and how quickly applications work.
I don't know if NewEgg ships internationally but they always have deals going on SSDs. I would really suggest upgrading to a 1080p monitor though, they run fairly cheap these days... and it's 2017...

Thanks for the input! Two new manufacturing plants just opened so there should be a drop in market price in the next few months. I'll keep an eye on sales daily.
My 22" monitor is WSXGA, and I've never watched anything that was available in over 720p, as most of my viewing interests involve 1920s-1960s classic and cult cinema. I'm in no hurry to go from 1680x1050 to 1080p, but if a hand-me-down monitor comes along I'll pick it up.
Thanks again!
