Big Performance Differences Between 2 Systems Why?

[SaintERosa]

So I have two computers. I was wondering why one was significantly faster in everything from booting, loading programs, saving and opening files and opening and closing windows and menus.

 

PC 2 is faster.

 

PC 1: slower

PSU: 650watt

MB: OEM

RAM: ddr3L 1333mhz 2x8gb

CPU: i7-6700K @ 4.0ghz

Boot: Samsung 860 Evo 250gb SATA SSD

GPU: GTX 1080

 

PC 2: faster

PSU: 1000watts

MB: Arock Z270 E4

RAM: ddr4 3000mhz 4x8gb

CPU:i7 6700K @ 4.4ghz

Boot: WD Black 500gb m.2 NVME

GPU: GTX 1080

...which one is the faster one? The one with the DDR4 memory and the NVME SSD?

If it's system 2, the advantages are:

 

More memory bandwidth due to speed and generation improvement

 

Faster transfer protocol

 

More memory (may or may not impact what you're doing, depends on what it is)

not to mention overclocked

I am assuming the slower one is PC1. The biggest difference is the boot drive. PC1 is sata SSD, while PC2 Has a NVMe and would be faster.

Yeah, I know it's a stupid question (and frankly it's obvious which one it was) but there's oddball cases where the seemingly weaker build can be faster.

The 2nd one is faster. It also runs cooler in game settings (I play 1440p games at 60fps to 144fps depending on what I feel like).

 

I wanted to give the PC1 to my sister but was hoping it would perform very well. I can't beleive how snappy it felt now it feels like a HDD and Celeron. They both are pretty fresh in installs in fact the PC1 runs less programs at every instance (no stupid 3rd party rgb controllers)
