uh... did you cheap out on your RAM? What's the exact RAM you have?
Lets first make sure that RAM speed is correct: Open up task manager, go to the performance tab, and click Memory.
This is what mine looks like...
That is extremely concerning if that is your actual RAM speed, and it would explain bad performance if you have literally anything running other than a game.
Ok, I did some research, Speccy shows the "real" data rate that RAM runs at, meaning it's half the advertised speed because RAM is Double the actual speed (DDR4 - Double Data Rate v4) so 1600mhz advertised is actually 800mhz.
So that means your RAM should be running at about 2*365 ... which is 730mhz...
You got shit RAM speed. Either you cheaped out on this where you shouldn't have, or your motherboard is set to run your RAM at a super low speed.
