SSD's are probably the absolute best hardware improvement to become affordable in the past decade

guys, I'm really thinking about buying a 850 evo. I do have some questions though. My pc gets awfully slow after a gaming session, or even after I alt+tab out of cs:go. Needs some time to alt+tab in and also out of the game. Would an ssd solve this issue?

Evo, pro is way more expensive for a little speed gain.
