The performance of my current computer seems to be going down. BC is becoming less and less playable by the month. I've tried different drivers. I defrag once a week and run ccleaner once a month. I physically clean in every three months. This computer is basically a 2006 and the important stuff(motherboard, cpu, psu(300w) and hard drive) hasn't been touched. I'm starting to worry. Space is also an issue along with being forced to play most of my games at settings lower than I should be. I'm just looking at a tower only since the monitor, speakers, mouse and keyboard are all still very much useable. Also, I would like to keep my current Radeon HD 5450 for games and internet stuff and have the onboard gpu just focus on the operating system only. I here that helps too.
So, here are my current choices.

+$7 for 500gb Toshiba sata
+$96 for W7 64bit oem

The second option might be my best I believe.
