Why is my PC so slow? Specs included.

Why is my PC so slow? Specs included.

My PC has been super slow all the time lately. I use it mainly for gaming but it's just slow in every possible way. When I start up my PC it takes 5-10 minutes to fully boot up. When I'm in any game and I alt + tab to load up chrome/task manager/anything, it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or so to actually load what I want. I just recently bought a NVIDIA 1080 and it increased my frames but the PC is just way to slow. Also, whenever it's running slowly and I'm able to get task manager open my disk usage is at 100%, is that the issue?

"I would recommend checking how many programs you have that open on start-up by going to task manager and going to the start-up tab. You can see which programs are more demanding when your pc is booting up. It could also be time to upgrade to an SSD if your hard drive is an older model. I would recommend for best performance a Samsung SSD as they are the best performing, but most expensive. If you are looking for a more budget option I would recommend a Silicon Power SSD. You can also use your hard drive to store game data while using the SSD for windows.
