As of now, try uninstalling AVG8 and let's see if the system will perform a lot better.
If it does, reinstall it and see if the issues will reappear. If the issues reappear, let me know so I could recommend some good ones for you.
If it performs ok, come back anyway so we could do some final checking.
Make sure you avoid surfing around without an antivirus.
