Computer slow after installing a new PSU and Graphics Card?

Question

Anyway, I'm not great at computers...Not even good really.

Though, I just bought a new graphics card (Radeon HD 7850) and a new PSU (Corsair 600w). I replaced my old hardware in my computer and put them in and I set my computer back up and everything was running fine.

I played a few games, ran a few programs, everything was perfect. Though, I'm worried about the heat in my tower. It's a bad tower if you want air flow and stuff and my card is Over Clocked which I think makes it run harder and get hotter.

Anyway, so after playing a game on the highest settings for like an hour, I exit the game and suddenly everything on my computer gets slowed up. Opening the browser takes a while, loading a new page, opening up a program, everything is just slower than before I even changed anything in my hardware.

I tried restarting, checking my task manager looking for programs that might still be open and using up memory, nothing. It just keeps being slow as heck.

I'm not really sure if a new Graphics card or PSU can slow things down but due to the timing of the computer slowing down and just installing new hardware, it leaves me suspicious.

I also checked the temperatures of my hardware just in case and everything seems to be fine.

So I was just wondering if it really can slow my stuff down, if it can, what can I do?

Again, don't really know much about this stuff.

It has nothing at all to do with the hardware, your problem is your operating system (WINDOWS) When are you going to learn that windows and    Mac are NOT the only computer operating systems in the world, There are others that are FREE they are far superior and more advance, They are up to date, March 2013, 

I would like you to visit these websites, and  check them out, for your own sake All you need  to do is visit them, then you will see just what your missing, after you have visited them you can message me and I will advise  you on which system will suite you the most,  Here  are   the   websites

Start with installing the graphics card drivers. Got to google and just search "ati Drivers" Takeas about 20 minutes and is all automatic. What card did you have before? IF it was an nvidia, delete the drivers! Downlaod a program called "driver cleaner" and install the ati drivers from scratch. 

Try that first of all, and let us know what happens. Good luck!

no longer in undemanding terms do you no longer let us know what era of processor that's, yet you in addition to could do no longer say what the different specs are, in particular, the working equipment. you may think of that 3gb of RAM is cool, yet combine that with Vista, and all the surprising its no longer so cool. If its a P4, it in undemanding terms slightly meets the minimum standards for the interest, and it could possibly run poorly even with how lots you mess with the video. i individually wouldnt difficulty working below a quad center at present, because of the fact the middle Duo is already dated, that's incredibly the optimal processor for SC2.
