What kind of power supply would actually handle everything on this list?

Don't go buying anything more expensive than $67 (400W is plenty), there's just no point. You aren't building some high-end workstation here. I'm saying don't spend more than $67 because you don't need all those extra cables and premium bells and whistles on a PSU.

In that case, I need a recommendation for a new board—nothing overpriced. 😁 My current setup is an ASUS P5KL-CM with an MS-400 ATX T4 power supply, an Intel Core 2 duo E6550 2.33 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and an ATI Radeon HD 4670.

Which LGA processor are you actually using?

EDIT: I missed where you listed your motherboard earlier. Recommendation: Asrock g41C-GS

I honestly thought maybe switching to a different web browser would fix things, but I haven't even bothered trying because everything is just crawling... it's so hard to get anything to actually load or even start up properly...

Even just scrolling through a bunch of photos takes forever...

I don't want to clutter this thread with screenshots, but I was looking into my startup settings...

Basically, I hit Command Prompt and then check my startup options, and there are easily 20 useless little programs checked off in there...

Since they all try to launch the second I turn the computer on, I can't help but wonder if they're the reason everything is such a mess...

Also, does anyone have a link for a decent, free antivirus?

An antivirus will just slow you down even more since it eats up a ton of RAM. My first recommendation: open Command Prompt and type,

chkdsk c: /r

It’ll ask y/n, press y and restart the computer, then just let it finish its work.

Forget about the processor; your motherboard is completely fried.
