4gb ram is plenty for usual stuff. you can see how much RAM you're using in task manager, if you dont go over 4gb then you dont really need more.
I'm trying to assess whether your graphics card is actually the problem, because If you're not playing games or video editing then it should be fine. Its a graphics card made to play games, regardless of 2 big monitors, office docs, facebook and youtube come nowhere close. Do you want to explain what you mean by graphics response?

So I did some investigating/observation and I think it was running low on memory. I kept the task manager open and noticed that when it was freezing it was nearly maxing out the memory. Picked up 8GB of RAM on the cheap and that seems to have solved the problem (at least until it next freezes). Thanks for your help!

Struggling with simple graphics response. The CPU is at least reasonably up to date (4x3.2GHz) but with only 4GB RAM. Will happily admit that it could do with more RAM, but it hasn't struggled before.
The GPU predates the whole lot by many years and has been on my hit list for a long time, just wondering if any of your guys have something reasonable second hand that I can slot in.
