hi Feline, I use "PCMark Vantage" by "FutureMark" which is a full system benchmark. You can bench your whole system or choose individual components to test. I think it cost me around $25 US. I use it to see results of CPU and GPU overclocking...great programme. Link below

Also if you want to see online bench comparisons to see how different CPU's, GPU's and SSD's go here and entre your choice of product.

Hope this was some help.
You'll find that an SSD will give your PC (laptop or desktop) a new lease on life.
cheers
