The configurations of your pc are fine.
My personal computer has the same specs with a slight difference that I
have 12 GiBs of main memory.
I had the same problem in the beginning (tho I started only a few months
ago).
I suggest you use `make -j4` or a higher number for compilation.
And now my system does the compilation in less than 30 minutes.
What options are you using while building the kernel ??
