I was playing Crysis 3 the other day and had a memory leak from my sound cards driver, so I reinstalled the driver and the memory leak fixed but the whole computer became slower, and I'm running an SSD on my primary drive. Games run properly with 60+ fps. Reinstalling BIOS made things a little faster. Is there any ways of making it as fast?

You can try uninstalling the driver and then download and reinstall it again. Are you running a single video card or two ? If your running two then a driver install will disable SLI if your running Nvidia cards. It's always a good idea to list you computer components as that may help with an answer.

Ok, sometimes when you have a conflict or software problem it can tend to affect other components. I know when I used to buy Sound Blaster cards and they were forever causing issues with other components and I pretty much had to load then last all the time.
So you may end up having to reload your video card drivers or network card drivers. You can also check with the Action Center and see if the troubleshooter can find anything.

You aren't the first and you won't be the last. I will say this , that Microsoft is set to release a massive Windows 8 update/service pack and while I can't say or know what the update is there is a chance that this could be the turning point or the final nail in the coffin. So far Windows 8 has not been much of a success and it needs a big update or service pack to turn things around.
Some of the rumors that I have heard say that this may even be bigger than a service pack and even be some kind of merger.
