If when you start to slow what happens if you shut down programs and restart? Is it lively or sluggish?
You might monitor use of the pagefile.
A small utility to monitor pagefile usage:

Right click on your My Computer icon on your Desktop. Select
Properties, Advanced, Performance Settings, Visual Effect. Which of
the four options is checked?
What are your anti-spyware arrangements?
How large is your hard disk and how much free disk space?

Hope this helps.

I have just built a new computer (see components below) After a few hours the
computer gets so slow it nearly stops, this has happened while installing
programs & unpacking so far. But if I wait a few hours till the task is done
it returns to normal and I can play World of Warcraft on highest resolution
without any problem. I have measured the temperature, its CPU: 38 degrees
Celsius and motherboard 32 degrees celsius. So its not hot at all.
