I have a Windows 7 computer. Its runs online games slow/glitchy.
Will an SSD help with this?

Possibly. When was the last time that you reinstalled your operating system? Windows tends to get slower and have more junk files laying around the longer you have it.

What processor are you using? How much RAM? What video card?

And since you're talking about online gaming, what speed/type of internet connection do you have?

All of these will affect your gaming performance.

By slowly/glitchy, do you mean low frames per second?  If so, no, and SSD will not likely help in and of itself.

You might find some improvement after reloading Windows onto the SSD, though that would most likely be because you reloaded Windows, not because of the SSD.

If you are talking about loading the games (and assuming that they are installed on your system, as opposed to a browser type game), then yes, you would likely see improvements there.  If the game is based on a browser, then you are getting everything over your internet connection, and the type and speed of storage won't matter.

You might see if your video card is in need of an update.

generally speaking..
it's probably going to be your video card, but yeah.. without knowing anything else about the computer it's like playing darts in the dark.
