How do I maintain good performance on my PC?

[Ext User(pcgamer)]

Well, after time it seems like most PC's start to have worse and worse
performance levels. This happened with my last PC. I recently bought a new PC
and would like to maintain good-high performance levels for as long as
possible. How would I do this? If you need more info, please ask.

It should keep working. You're probably getting it gunked up with
malware.

You can start with:

Don't install stuff you don't need
Don't install 20 million fonts

Don't have lots of programs that run at startup (usually indicated by
items in tasktray - lower right corner of screen) - ie, messengers, auto
updaters, etc.

Surf carefully

regularly run spybot and or adaware, defrag your disks when needed, run disk
clean up regularly - all of those should help too
