If you're getting lag etc it's got to be network related rather than graphics card etc.

What processes are running on your machine when you're gaming?

How do you connect to the internet? USB through your modem, or do you have a router etc? and run a Cat5 cable to your PC through a n/work card?

How does your xbox connect? does that suffer lag also?

How is general browsing on the web? when the lag occurs what happens if you exit the game and look what processes are running, what's your web connection like then?

Can you alt-tab in your game when this happens? then check what is running on your PC at that time.

You haven't got something like AV updates etc scheduled at certain times have you?

Lots of questions, but lots of potential issues
