Hey there, thanks for reaching out! I really appreciate your support. I finally managed to assemble my first real PC and got it running. But I noticed it took a while to launch a Steam game—especially during the initial setup. My main concern is whether the system feels as responsive as I expected. Here’s what I have so far:

- Motherboard: ASUS X670E-E
- CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X
- RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Series DDR5 6000 (4x16GB)
- GPU: 4090 Storage with two 2TB WD Black NVME M.2 SSDs
- Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

Any tips or suggestions to boost performance would be super helpful! Thanks a lot!

Check if your RAM operates at 6000MHz and verify if the BIOS is up to date with the latest release.

It isn't operating at full speed. When I tried to start it, the PC wouldn't boot and I kept seeing ASUS Q Codes. I turned it off and it now runs at 4800. Also, I checked the BIOS on the ASUS site and found the latest version.

Occasionally it can take a bit longer for me to begin specific games. I have a nearly identical setup.

It helps knowing others face the same problem. We’re trying to understand why systems might run slower when launching games.
