Any help or advice is appreciated! Here are the specs: Intel 4770K processor on a Z87 Pro mobo, 7gb DDR3 RAM, 2x 1tb HDD (7200rpm) SATAIII, GeForce GTX 560 Ti, Windows 7. Please let me know If I missed anything pertinent... My pc is slow and lags quite often whether its booting up, opening programs, or gaming. My question to the experts is...could this be a hardware issue? (Ram? HDD?) Or software issue? I did a clean install of 7 and have only installed a handful or programs (avast, ccleaner, games). What can I do to speed up my computer?
