slow pc

Boozad said:

For a start your HDD is only 5400rpm which is a very slow drive, so that will be slowing things down quite noticeably. Your CPU being only 1.6GHz is also going to hamper performance, is this a laptop you have?

If you're using intensive photo editing programs then it's no surprise that it's running slowly to be honest, and short of upgrades there's not a lot you can do. If this is how it's running following a clean install of Windows 7 that's what you'll be stuck with until you invest in a new rig unfortunately.

any advise on places or good sites that can help me build a machine I know all the parts I would need to assemble my dream pc. I just dont know which parts I would need to get the performance I want.

There are multiple things you can do to help speed up your system.

Disk Clean Up, Also try the elevated one here; Disk Cleanup : Extended

General maintenance of your pc I.E delete them old wanted files.

There are many more which im sure you know of, or have tried.

Hardware will play a part in the speed of your system.

Ram is so cheap now, have you thought about investing in some new sticks?

Or maybe its time to upgrade your machine :)

That depends on the performance you want, as in what are you really wanting to use the PC for?

I want to make low budget 3d animations I plan on making my own characters and cartoons in zbrush and animate in software like maya, maybe a lot of photoshop and after effects work. and play games like battlefield 4. Other than thats it. Possible video editing one day. I was thinking of getting a macbook laptop because my moms voluntarily going to get me one but I wanna build me a pc system with my own money. I dont know a mac that can do what I want without costing 2000. Im going to sleep now I will respond to any responses in the morning.
