[strike]Well firstly, unless you have a dedicated GPU which you failed to mention, the HD 7770 isn't dead. You wouldn't be able to access the desktop without it.[/strike]
Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood
Try using an SSD. They greatly improve the speed of booting and loading everything.

There are small things you can do, like clean your drive of any old useless files, defragment it. These may improve performance but not by much.

If the Hard Drive is what's causing the slow experience, then only a SSD will speed it up.

Hi there Legend207,

You can make sure that both your drives are in a healthy shape: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

If there's something wrong with any of those, you will need to back up the data stored over there and replace it.
If there are no abnormal values in the SMART data, then a clean OS install may help and improve your system's performance.

Cheers,
