I'm not sure if I've seen an example of someone making a newer computer run slower than old gear.  But when I build a new desktop PC for myself, I usually install a fresh copy of Windows on it and just install what I need, and that tends to give a fairly fast system.

And I agree, compared to a computer made last year, a computer made now isn't much faster.  These days I've been doing some GPU-intensive (and  CPU-intensive) tasks and I like occasional gaming too though.. About a year and a half ago, I bought a new graphics card for my PC, and it made a significant speed improvement for a couple things I use my PC for.
