8 GB of ram with an i5 1500k 3.30 GHz CPU, and a GTX 560 ti GPU. I use my rig mainly for gaming

If you do a lot of gaming i would highly suggest getting at least 12 or 16gb of ram in there as 8gb probably is not gonna cut it especially if you play games that are extremely processor and ram intensive. Those can quickly eat up processor and ram availabiltiy.

This is a lot of motherhood and probably does not help the OP. We don't even know what games the OP is playing. Before suggesting that the OP spend more money, I suggest you ask him for more detailed information and base your recommendations on that.

I play games such as: WoW, far cry 3, assassins Creed 3, borderlands 2, LA NOIRE and a lot more.
I think 8 GB Isn't too bad, the problem is mainly of windows 7 not the pc it's self. Do you think restoring windows ( delete and download windows 7) would maybe solve this problem?

So what?, you have to go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > right click on Command Prompt > Open as admin - else it won't work.

Thanks, I'll try it and get back to you. Do you really think that 8 GB of ram Is not enough?

Please just follow whs instruction in post #6 and #23.

Your 8 gigs of ram is not your problem. Forget about your ram at this time unless you have been doing some tweaks that you haven't mentioned.
If you have been tweaking let us know.
Have you been in Boot Advance Options?

After following whs instructions this would be helpful.

System Info - See Your System Specs

I am running an chkdsk now, I just looked into my system and it turns out my i5-2500k CPU @ 3.30 GHZ
Is an 3.60 GHZ does that mean my CPU is overclocked?

Sorry I don't know how to find my screenshots...;(
