PC Spec Advice

So i am finally saying goodbye *sniffles a lil* to my gaming laptop and had a desktop built:

Gigabyte GTX 770 GDDR5-4GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP OC WINDFORCE 3X Graphics Card GV-N770OC-4GD

intel i7

8gb ram

My question is this, aside from server lag and that dreaded .3 second Positional Update, should my new PC be able to cut my latency/lag and raise my fps higher than the 12fps i get now?

Note: Sorry, due to forum restrictions i cant reply anymore today so i will edit the main post with them.

Actualy going to to school for gaming design, that is why i went with an i7, else i would have went with an i5

Suffice to say your new PC should destroy this game.

Try setting your graphics to default standard and see if it helps.

Your system seems better than mine, so I have no idea otherwise :(

Not my current system, one i am having built and will be here tomorrow or friday

With those specs you wont have any problem running in max settings with a good frame rate

hrmm idk about the 770 personally its around 680 performance lvl, but i can vouch for the 780..
so my pc is i5 3570k at 4.3ghz 16gb ddr3 1333 memory with several virtual drives created in ram for fast access to specific files and a 120 gb ssd

corsair 850w psu and a gtx 780/ screen is dell u2412m @ 1920x1200 and my fps varies, for titan hm 100-130 fps/ massive fates would be 30-50, like the peak hour DD fate before the bugs/ in town at mor dhona on the roof of the shacks looking at crystal and all the ppl i get around 15-40 depending on how players are there.

*update*

ok so got it up and running, way better than what i had before, but i still cant get to 60fps without dipping down to 30fps buy turning. my friend seems locked at 60fps with no loss and hes only an i5 with a 760....
