My computer is slow at compiling, esp. LLVM. If I were to buy a new computer, what components would I focus on to improve this?

Monitor it's current resources, but disk I/O usually is a thing to look at. Don't use spinning disks

Don’t use spinning disks

Lets be honest here, that applies to any modern PC outside of mass media storage/backups. I've been saying for nearly 10 years now that HDDs don't belong in normal computers.
