Try uninstalling your video drivers and installing the most recent one from the AMD site. I do not really see a weak link in your computer that would be causing lag. You said the video card is new did you uninstall the old drivers when you installed it?

Did you have this lag with your old video card? You could also have a power supply going bad. You did plug in both the power connectors on the video card right?

No mechanical hard drive scores over 5.9 on the Windows Experience Index. Not even in RAID 0. You need an SSD to score higher.
