To improve loading times there's only one solution: faster storage. You'll need an SSD.

Would that have a really noticeable affect? I thought it would have been the CPU I'd need to upgrade for that. But if an SSD could do it I might have to start looking into getting one.

A slow CPU can hold back your load times if a game is doing allot of say... Decompression work on the CPU during loading.
But for the most part... It is storage that holds back load times.

Not only are SSD's vastly superior in sequential reads for loading... But doing lots of small random reads an SSD can be 100's of times faster than a mechanical disk. It makes a difference.

I keep my most played games on my SSD. The rest on a Western Digital Black.
