I just recently built a gaming PC and it seems that it's not as fast as it should be. Gaming wise, my games certainly run much better, but it's pretty slow on start up and slow with things such as launching Firefox, opening files, and the like. My bf has the same exact build and his is giving no problems that I know of. The only difference if that I took the harddrive out of my old computer. I wiped it with DBan prior to installing as harddrives from prebuilt systems typically can't be used in new builds like mine. Could the harddrive be the source of my problems, or is there another issue going on? It's 7 years old, which I know might make me sound stupid for wanting to use it, but it's 1.5 TB and I didn't really want to just not try it.
My harddrive is not included in this build, I'll have to wait until I'm not at work to look up what it is exactly. All I know is it's by Western Digital. But, here's the rest of the build:

If I have to purchase a new harddrive, that's fine. I just want a better idea of it that is what could be causing the problem, or if those of you more experienced than me can see a possible issue with the other hardware. As I said, the bf is having no problems out of his (or so he says), so this is the only thing I could think of.
