I would argue that most of these issues are software problems. Advising casual users to buy better hardware might help the symptoms somewhat, but the real solution would be better-adapted software or non-lazy developers. (Better-adapted: software that runs well on entry-level machines rather than just on state-of-the-art machines. Lazy: write poorly-performing code and rely on state-of-the-art hardware to run it.)
