Slow internet connection?

[Joshua]

It might be something to do with your Router (which I doubt because if you other gadgets are working...)

I would most likely see if your drivers for the board are up to date, this may be the cause. (Even if they are I would re-install)

I've had this problem on some ASUS boards, which, I'm mainly an MSI guy now, but usually updating the drivers have solved my problem in the past.

Also, no, I doubt that having high-end specs limit your connection, unless you have something else connected to your router that is destroying your bandwidth (which again, is unlikely)
