so i currently have a WD blue 7200rpm 1TB HDD in my pc and want to know if intel optane would make much differents in boottime and loadtime of games.

Also if 32gb is worth it over the cheaper 16gb model.

(i ask because i saw a deal on it)

tnx in advance

yes it will help a lot but if u are willing to wait to save some money a ssd will be better then optane on a hdd but if you do not want to i would get 32gb because u will have more room for what u please

No get an SSD instead weather it be a 2.5 SATA drive or an M.2 NVME.

It will speed it up yes so it feels like an SSD but you could get a cheap, larger SSD for similar money so I suggest that you get that instead as over all it would work better

yea it would be as you only cache 16 or 32GB of your most used shit to make it feel faster, but where as if you install your OS and your primary programmes on the SSD it will feel as responsive as optane and will have more things that feels like that. That and also using a 1TB as main file storage doesn't feel that slow if your main files are on the SSD (from my experience)
