@OP.

Next time let me remotely connect to your PC before you upgrade.

My optimisation skills are tried and tested.

My i7 3600K is living life in the speed bliss.
8GB low frequency RAM, normal 1TB hdd.

Especially if you don't do gaming, there's so much more juice to use when tuning everything correctly.

I'm being sincere here.
I know programmers love speed.

You know, IDE's are notoriously heavy on memory usage. You can optimize all you want to, but it won't make an IDE use less memory than what is available. Developers are not after speed, they are after stability.

Depends which IDE.
Visual Studio is actually great with memory usage.

I've seen coders use it on systems with 4GB RAM. No complaints about it.

I would rather suggest loading a preferred Linux distribution. VS is Linux compatible. The resource usage should improve.

Optimisation isn't unneeded.
Devs know development. They aren't geared to general IT use and troubleshooting.

I'm speaking from personal experience working and supporting developers for many years.
