Upgrade your RAM to at least 16GB.

 

Upgradethe CPU if possible to a 6300 or 8370 if you can. Ideally, Switch to a Ryzen 5 1600 or R7 1700 as these are better for priduction work than your current platform, even more so than Intel chips at the same price point.

 

Your CPU certainly sounds like it is holding you back.

Intel Xeon 1650 V0 (4.4GHz @1.4V), ASRock X79 Extreme6, 32GB of HyperX 1866, Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT, Silverstone Redline (black) RL05BB-W, Crucial MX500 500GB SSD, TeamGroup GX2 512GB SSD, WD AV-25 1TB 2.5" HDD with generic Chinese 120GB SSD as cache, x2 Seagate 2TB SSHD(RAID 0) with generic Chinese 240GB SSD as cache, SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 850, x2 Acer H236HL, Acer V277U be quiet!

Get a better CPU, Ryzen 5 1600x and up. I would recommend a Ryzen 7 1700 if you have the cash

I already have 16GB, but when I look at the monitor tool it looks quite maxed out. So I just ordered 32GB of Kingston Fury 1600.

If don't have the socket for the Ryzon on my mainboard and have to go with processor with the AM3+ socket.

When I'm going to build a new machine next year, I will go the Intel way.

Cancel that order. That RAM will not work in a new system. Ryzen and the new Intels all use DDR4 RAM.

 

If you want to spend money then start over with a Ryzen or i7 and DDR4.

As I mentioned in my earlier comments, building an entire new system is not an option for a couple of reasons at this moment in time.

When I do, I certainly will go the Intel route.

You are right, the CPU is crap and I see that it's maxed out when I monitor it.

At this point in time I have to stick with the AMD FX-series though.
