Why am I lagging?

Recently I have been borrowing my friends Origin account to play Titan-fall, and I have been contemplating on buying it. Though one thing keeps me from doing so, and that is the lag I get at times. I will be playing at 60 fps constantly until around the middle/end of the game when there are many explosions going on or either it is specific maps and I hit 15-30 fps and obviously is annoying. I was wondering if there is a problem with my computer: maybe I need to get some new parts for example. Because my friend can play Titan-fall full settings. And he runs fine.

His specs (not exact):
-Intel i7
-Nvidia GTX 650Ti
-8 GB of Ram

My specs:
-Intel i5-3450 @ 3.10 GHz
-Nvidia GTX 660
-16 GB of ram

I am not sure if there is something that would help out this problem like a new Processor or my graphics card is going bad. GFX card gets up to 75C when lag hits. I am not sure and have been struggling to find out why I keep getting this lag. Maybe I need to just reset my computer. I am not sure. Please reply if you have any advice or ideas it would be much appreciated.

Thank you
