hie my pc config is
Processor-AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 975 Processor, 3600 Mhz, 4 Core(s)
8 gb corsair vengeance ram
1tb hard disk WD
500w smps cooler master
graphics-nvidia-geforcegt620
785g-e53(MS 7576) motherboard

i think its quite good? i mean its not the best but it is fairly good. its been almost 3 years. what i want to ask is why i feel like my pc is still not that fast enough? i mean even in the starting it wasn't that fast. the other thing is it takes time to copy stuff into drives and all and while ur copying something the other things goes slow. what to do guys? buy a new processor? motherboard? im confused! please help me!

thank you

If you are looking for an upgrade you should try a ssd and then upgrade your video card. Your cpu is still pretty good. I would take it over any FX cpu. A ssd with a clean windows install would breathe life into your system. You won't believe the difference it will make in everything. I don't know if you like to game or not, but the GT620 is weak.

Yes, an SSD will speed it way up.

Boot times will go from 30 seconds or more to under 10 seconds, and file copying will be incredibly fast, at least within the SSD. Once you are trying to copy to a platter hard drive, the hard drive will bottleneck it.

Your CPU is fine for now, it isn't worth your money to upgrade it to anything. FX CPUs are like 5% better. Unless you have over $200 to spend on a new Intel CPU/Motherboard combination, that CPU is fine for now.
