SSD is the best bang for your buck
Should I report this to moderators as phishing attempt, attempt to advertise products or just a blatant lie?
Upgrade your own PC first. THEN recommend other to be such fools as you are.
I dare you.
The only way to make Windows boot fast using SSD is described perfectly in this video:

The only drawback is SSD awesomeness will set you back one BMW. In my opinion, one BMW ($25.000+ if you buy $1000 Intel speedy models + raid controllers), is still faster/cooler/better than SSD awesomeness.
PC-wise you can build about 12 PCs with latest-gen hardware, able to run Crysis maxed out in 2560x1600 with Dx10 mode. TWELVE.
$300 64GB SSD will be slower than any current-generation HDD with 2.000GB storage.
So who said something about "best bung for buck"?
Replacing CPU doesn't give a noticeable performance boost unless you're still using a single-core one or dual-core at 2.4ghz and buy a i5 750 and overclock it to some 3.5-4ghz. Less than 20% is not a noticeable boost. Because if you have 20 fps, it will only give you 4 fps, which won't fix stuttering.
Replacing GTS 250 with GTX 480 will give you at least DOUBLE FPS, which will really help.
The problem with Warband, judging by the forum, is latest patch, which drops FPS significantly whenever someone's fighting. Its not a problem with anyone's PC, its a problem with game design. I can only recommend waiting for it to be fixed.
Core 2 duo + GTS 250 is a decent system, not requiring an upgrade at the moment.
