this is how it works lets say you click on chrome to be open
information is then send from the hard drive in to memory then on to CPU to be process
with spinning hard drive it will take longer to send information in to memory on to the CPU
the memory speed play a part in how fast information is send to the CPU
also CPU play a part in how fast the information can be process
so having a ssd and a slow CPU yes is unless but I would not say you need i7 CPU
A simple 3.2 dual core CPU is more then enough
the biggest bottle neck in your system performance is a spinning hard drive
