Hey guys I have no clue what I'm doing and I just spent 2000$ to make a decent PC completely from scratch and its too slow to play any game, or even do anything at all.

After installation it booted up fine and everything is working, I just dont even know how to start figuring out this problem.

Can someone please help me?

by slow i mean i was playing hearthstone (a card game) and also tried to open up control panel, and every action was taking like 4-6 seconds to respond to my input.

So i had installed the drivers for the mobo from the disk and i believe they were out dated. That made it better for sure. not sure if the problem is fixed for sure or maybe just bandaided, so i will leave this open for now but thanks for the advice i will look into that stuff
