    12gb of ddr3 1333 memory

    Sorry, I don't get here as often as I would like.
    Your description is fairly generic, to check your speed you need to run some tests and compare against similar systems.
    What do you want to speed up, games or office applications or movies?
    I assume your SSD is your boot drive. Anything you want to load fast needs to be on the SSD, but like me you are space limited.

    Make sure to minimize any program that automatically starts up when you turn on the computer. Only let the anti-virus and essential drivers start up. Anything else, like instant messengers, etc., make sure they're deactivated.
