PC is getting slower and slower?

My PC has become extremely slow lately. Startup takes half an eternity, YouTube videos often load, even though the loading bar is well advanced, or some of the videos were also dumped. Even my RGB keyboard (Razer Cynosa Chroma) "lays" partially.

Often the PC is already overwhelmed with Minecraft on one screen and YouTube on the other. (Just as an example)

What can I do there? The device is, if it comes up, half a year old and should actually perform properly.

The specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970 motherboard AM3+ socket

Processor: AMD FX-8350, 8 Core 4.0 GHz (Piledriver) Socket AM3+

Radiator: Alpenföhn Ben Nevis CPU Cooler - 120mm

Main memory: 2x HyperX Fury Series black DDR3-1866, CL10 8GB

Graphics card Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming, 6144 MB GDDR5

Power Supply: Kolink KL-700M Power Supply, 80 Plus Bronze, Modular - 700 Watt

SSD: Team Group L5 Lite Series, 2.5 ", SATA 6G - 120GB

HDD: Western Digital Blue, SATA 6G 3.5 inch - 1TB

What can I do? I would like that the device again has a decent performance for the components.

There can be many options for this, but one thing many people do wrong is thinking about saving their hard drive and slowing down any not so good device.

For being half a year old… Based on AMD's old and bad FX generation. No idea what you spent for it but it was definitely rip off.

No one component, except maybe the graphics card and the HDD (SSD never heard of) is really good.

What helps: Look in the task manager, are there any processes that pull the performance of the CPU?

Otherwise, when gambling install MSI Afterburner, look at all temperatures and workloads. I think the CPU is too warm, typical problem of the series. Maybe the thermal grease is over.

Otherwise: putting on new things can never hurt!

Read my answer again. The processor tends to produce a lot of waste heat, which could be one of the reasons.

But it could also be a problem with the software.

The questioner has an SSD, do you realize what that is? After half a year, it's not slow, which is why I'm guessing overheating the CPU, quite simple.

Maybe it was not clever, but helpful anyway. Nobody buys in 2018 nor an FX processor.
