Ever since I got my new I7 4770k whenever I start downloading games on steam my computer lags and it is impossible to do anything while its downloading games, updates etc.
I checked to see if it was Norton causing the problem, turned it off, no change

With Norton, merely disabling is usually not enough. Uninstall it completely, it's shit software anyway.

Is your entire system slow? Or just the internet?

You can check how much memory and CPU the programs are using in the task manager.

Are you downloading them to your C: drive? If you have a good internet connection and are installing to a machanical drive the drive may be consumed with writing data, causing read performance to decrease dramatically. I have had this happen on a slightly older 2tb drive, but having the OS on a SSD (or even just another drive alltogether) would help.
