Desktop PC nuts - Need advice

[fnkngrv]

I use different ones really. The bulk of the aoftware I use is through NCH Windows Movie Maker, a couple other dedicated suites. One thing that I noticed over the last several montha is that my machine really bogs down when I am uaing winrar to decompress large mkv files which it never used to. I have various software I use to keep the system clean and also capture malware/adware/spyware. I guess what I am trying to figure out is whether or not AMD tech has really not moved much forward in 5 years. I suppose that it doesn't help that I have top of the line components from that time period. That would logically require me to do the same again now to really see a performance difference. I had run 2 different SSDs as my boot/program drive however they both shit the bed. I need to figure out the fastest platter drive that I can install to help too.
