it sounds like you run a new build with a spinning hard drive.
don't do this... get an SSD.
hard drives are great for STORING data not for running operating systems.
technically they used to run on HDD in the past but now a days you really need a sata SSD to provide any kind of speed or snappiness.

It is totally normal to "fall off". If you don't care about being that super competitive gamer who is in it to win it at difficulty mode 1 million, you fall into the casual, chill gamer stage. Which is nothing to be ashamed of.
I used to be super competitive a decade ago, I'm turning 33 soon but in recent 2 or so years my competitive nature has been slacking off. Either time is a concern - it distracts me from fully committing to my comp nature - or something else is keeping me busy. On top of that, in some scenarios I feel slower to react which is also normal when aging.
So I simply tone it down and enjoy my games more by lowering the difficulty.
