Just bought an SSD

Most people agree that SSDs aren't helpful with games. The primary usage is to decrease Windows boot time. Windows does have an efficient disk cache. Once something is loaded it's cached in RAM for much quicker retrieval time. So you don't really see much long term benefit from using an SSD.

No, most people don't agree SSDs aren't helpful with games- But it depends a lot on the games you're playing. Particularly in games where things are dynamically loaded on the fly an SSD basically eliminates any possibility of "hitching" when data is being loaded (Common in some multiplayer games when a player joins the game and their model/other data isn't already loaded). It also helps a lot for games that simply have a lot of data to load and take a noticeable amount of time on a HDD.
