Help, my new PC is as slow as the old!

A new PC that train as much as the previous one as he is supposed to be 5 times more powerful, it's normal doctor?

See This : Amplicity, a new kind of modular PC

I recently replaced my desktop PC precedent, which was in agony and increasingly slow and unstable with a new PC last generation, carrying a 5 times more powerful processor, RAM multiplied by 4 and a hard drive 1 terra.


Result: while I expected a big performance improvement, as is usually the case when one starts on a new PC, the new PC running Windows 8.1 is as slow as the previous was after 6 years of good and faithful service, even slower on some operations (thank you stuff with the Cloud Office365 in kind or Adobe Creative Suite), freezes more often, and Firefox is even worse (lags, Flash crashes, frozen tabs, etc).

I have therefore gained no productivity, and worse, I lose a lot of time to set various parameters of the PC, which had been managed in spite of common sense in its original version. A great time especially with this 150 GB partition dedicated to the OS on which ALL settled by default, which earned me the full message memory barely a week after activating the PC, and I had to redistribute to give it more room.

What deduct? We have reached a ceiling in terms of performance of the PC, and that the renewal of a machine after several years of use no longer produces the effect "boost" that we knew before, or that my new PC is simply a stew mounted with the feet, which would be boring for a single CPU still costing 700 euros (without a screen, so) in supermarkets? Since I do not have a degree in computer engineering, as my technical knowledge are relatively basic and I'm that far enough news in this specific area, I wonder: Is this case an exception or has it become the rule?

Alternative to regain the velocity: next time, opt for a SSD (like the one my team ultra-slick laptop)? What do you think?
