    Just to echo what some others have said:

    1. Switching to an SSD will make a HUGE difference
    2. Clean installing your OS will help a lot
    3. Maxing the ram will keep your system from getting bogged down.

    Then other maintenance stuff:

    1. Don't completely fill your hard drive
    2. Try to keep your desktop/downloads/trash empty or mostly empty
    3. Keep your startup items to a minimum
