This could be any number of things...from drivers to software conflicts to virus, malware and spyware infections or just an over cluttered hard drive
. I would start with by checking your system for infections, if any is found clean and remove. Then I would check for any MS updates, following up with any software/hardware updates including drivers for hardware, especially for your GPU. Then defrag hard drive. Then we can go from there.
A simple thing could be that your pc hasn't started "all the way", but there are still parts to be started = a lag. What I mean is, if you immediately start a game after the desktop has appeared, parts of your system may still be on their way to start. Don't know, but give it some, say, 5 minutes, before you start a game.
I warned you: a simple thing, this was.
I'd also suggest turning off sleep and hibernate features... you don't need them at all with a SSD, and prehaps create a custom power management profile for gaming that sets all resource to maximum without any power throttling, and if that doesnt work disable the system page file (again this should really be off anyway if you have a SSD OS drive), with 8gb it's never likely to be needed and can cause freeze ups in games.
