    An external hard drive will not speed your PC up. That might actually slow it down. An SSD drive would be the better choice for an internal drive.
    What exactly are the specs for your PC ? ( Processor, Ram, video card, hard drive, and even OS )
    It would be easier to see the possible bottleneck(s) if we know what you have to work with.

    Pretty much what CJ said, I'd go with a Solid State Internal Drive.

    You could even keep (depending on your computer) your current drive for storage and things and then install the games on the SSD.

    Hard drive have very little impact on the games you play, imo the best is to have a solid hard drive for windows and nothing more, and an SSD for everything else, the point is to not cluster you OS with possible errors in retrieving data. If you want to up you gaming experience you'll have to look at your GPU and CPU.

    The Western Digital My Book Desktop External hard Drive is the best repository for your music, photos, videos, documents or any other media
    You can buy it, and I'm not an expert - but honestly if there would be a change my guess is it would be worse performance than what you have now. All of these hard drives look like the purpose is for backing up data, not running games that need to have things loaded up every time you start it. The OS is going to use the writing speed of the hard drive it is currently on, so you can hook up as many external drives as you want, but it's still going to be the original internal drive that is using it.

    I'd recommend reading CrazyJoe's reply as he was spot on.
