Hey guys, im running my A10-5800k overclocked at 4.2GHz and my PC is starting to get really slow. I just did a fresh install of Windows 10 and everything and it is still lacking performance. Things take longer to load like chrome and steam ect. and my FPS is starting to drop far below what it use to have been. Giving the PC is 3 years old, I wouldn't expect it to start to die so soon. Is there anything i can do to get it back to running like a kitten without breaking the bank? (Under $150 preferably, I only have a part time job, working 14 hours a week, and im 16 so money is a small issue) I'll post the specs below.

PC Specs:

Motherboard: ASROCK FM2A75 PRO4+

Processor: AMD A10 5800K Quad-Core APU Overclocked at 4.2GHz

Graphics Card: Currently just running with the APU

Power Supply: Rosewell RD600 600W

Memory: Ripjaws 2x4Gb
 
Solution
The problems started when you overclocked? Set it back to stock speeds.

What RAM are you using? Be more specific than "Ripjaws 2x4Gb"
