I have 16GB of RAM but I don’t have a SSD.

That's plenty of RAM.

Do you know the RPM of your hard drive? 7200 makes a considerable difference over 5400.

I find that a small SSD (60-120GB) for the C: drive works wonders compared to any commercial rotating hard drive. The rotating hard drive can then become D: and store data.
